Ingredients

Scale

Mini German Pancakes Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, and flour. Blend or whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Grease the muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously butter each cup of a standard muffin tin to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  3. Pour batter into muffin tin: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full to allow room for puffing.
  4. Bake until puffed and golden: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mini pancakes are puffed up and golden around the edges.
  5. Serve warm: Remove from oven and serve immediately to enjoy the signature puffed texture. Optionally, top with powdered sugar, fresh fruits, or syrup.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for a better rise and fluffiness.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the pancakes from collapsing.
  • You can add vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Serve these with fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar for best taste.
  • Leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven but may lose their puffiness.
