Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9x13-inch baking dish in the oven to heat while preparing the batter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy and well blended.
Step 3
Add the milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the eggs. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 4
Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and add the butter to the dish. Swirl or tilt the dish to melt the butter and coat the bottom and sides evenly.
Step 5
Quickly pour the batter into the hot baking dish with the melted butter. Return the dish to the oven immediately.
Step 6
Bake the pancake for 20 minutes, or until it is puffed up, golden brown, and crisp around the edges.
Step 7
Remove the German pancake from the oven and let it cool slightly. It will deflate as it cools—this is normal and creates a perfect base for toppings.
Step 8
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar. Optionally, serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, jam, or whipped cream.
Step 9
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy!
