Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other

  • 4 tablespoons butter (divided for muffin cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a muffin tin inside to heat up. This ensures the butter melts immediately and helps create the characteristic puff.
  2. Blend Batter: In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and fully mixed to form a thin batter.
  3. Butter Muffin Cups: Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to each muffin cup, allowing it to melt and coat the sides.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Quickly pour the batter into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full to allow room for puffing during baking.
  5. Bake Pancakes: Place the muffin tin back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the pancakes have puffed up and turned golden brown on top.
  6. Serve Hot: Remove the Mini German Pancakes from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as powdered sugar, syrup, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a hot muffin tin to achieve the best puffiness and texture.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the pancakes from deflating.
  • These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh and hot out of the oven for maximum fluffiness.
  • Customize toppings based on your preference – fresh berries, whipped cream, or lemon juice all work great.
