Mini German Pancakes Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Crack the eggs into a blender, add the milk and flour, then blend until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This ensures a light and airy pancake batter.
- Preheat and Grease: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Melt the butter and use it to generously butter each cup of a muffin tin to prevent sticking and to add rich flavor.
- Pour Batter into Muffin Tin: Pour the blended batter evenly into the buttered muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the Pancakes: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes until the pancakes have puffed up and turned golden brown on top.
- Serve Immediately: Remove from the oven and serve the mini pancakes hot to enjoy their maximum fluffiness. Top with powdered sugar, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings as desired.
Notes
- Ensure the muffin tin is well buttered to get that crisp, golden edge characteristic of German pancakes.
- You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately after baking as the pancakes will deflate as they cool.
- Substitute whole milk with any milk of your choice for dietary preferences.
