German Pancakes: Easy Breakfast Recipe
How to Make German Pancakes is a common question, if you haven't made these growing up! They are fluffy, soft, and a great switch-up to traditional pancakes! See this delicious recipe below.
German Pancakes are one of my favorite breakfast recipes to make! I think it's because it reminds me of when I was little. My mom would make this regularly. The main difference between these and regular pancakes is that it bakes into a fluffy, soft deeper dish pancake. The edges curl up making a bowl shape, perfect for keeping all those delicious toppings on top!
If you haven't yet tried this recipe, it's actually easier than standing there flipping traditional small pancakes. I've actually heard German Pancakes are ideal for larger families since you can let them cook on it's own, without having to stand in the kitchen making pancakes batch by batch. 🙂
How to Make German Pancakes:
To make these, just whisk together the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. I try to add the flour slowly so I am not battling large clumps of flour in my mixture. You can add about 1/4 cup a time and just whisk it in, but be careful not to overly stir the mixture. It will be tough and not rise well if it's overly mixed. Some clumps are ok.
Then, put your batter into a 9×13 dish, or Ramekins if you prefer to make them individually sized (as pictured). Grease your pan well with cooking spray or butter and a dusting of flour before you add the batter. That's it! It will bubble up in the oven beautifully and get golden and crispy on the sides.

Toppings and Variations:
These are amazing with a big slab of butter and maple syrup, just like regular pancakes. We also love them with butter and a dusting of powdered sugar over the top, similar to a funnel cake!
For a fresh fruit spin, top with sliced strawberries, blueberries and even cherries! You can use fresh fruit or drain a small can of fruit cocktail with cherries and serve over the top. The sweetness of the fruit is a great balance against the fluffy pancake. See how to make German Pancakes with the printable recipe below.
