What Are German Pancakes? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also called Dutch pancakes or Dutch baby pancakes, German pancakes are a cross between a baked pancake and a crepe<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are made with a simple batter featuring flour, eggs, sugar, and milk (I also add vanilla extract and salt for flavor!). Butter is melted in a casserole dish or cast iron skillet while the oven preheats, then the batter is poured on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the pancake bakes, it puffs up like a massive popover and then deflates as soon as you take it out of the oven. The results are slightly crispy edges and a thick, custardy center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And before you ask, yes, German pancakes are thought to have been invented in Germany! However, they wound up being called “Dutch pancakes” as a spin on “Deutsch pancakes” (Deutsch <\/em>being the German word for “German”). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
