German Pancake

Lavender Lynn's Note:

This came out of the local paper in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Sometimes called a "Dutch Baby." Serve with: berries and cream; lemon curd; butter, powdered sugar and drizzled lemon juice (yum!); raspberry jam; crushed pineapple; or chunky apple sauce. Be sure to use the lowest available oven rack as it sometimes grows quite tall while baking. The baking time given may be just a little long, so watch when it gets close.

Excellent! I think the hand blender really makes the difference! I've been making German Pancakes for a few years now and I've tried a bunch of different recipes - 4 eggs, 6 eggs, less butter, more butter, add vanilla, etc. This recipe is great! I used soy milk, I'm not a fan of cow's milk. Turned out great, thanks!

This was very yummy. We topped ours with some caramel apples, toasted walnuts, and whipped cream. What a great treat!

Just love german pancakes and these were perfect!! I made 1/2 of the recipe and served with sliced strawberries and whipped topping, yum! I forgot how much these babies puff up while baking and had put them in the top part of my oven (which is like a large toaster oven), well they puffed right up into the heating element, lol!! But overall they cooked perfectly. Thanks for sharing the recipe Lynn. Made for ZWT 6.
