My sister in law introduced me to these delicious German Pancakes when I was visiting her last year in Washington. I absolutely fell in love with them right away and just had to get my hands on the recipe. I really am not sure how I went my whole life not knowing what German pancakes are. I feel so deprived!
The thing that I love most about this recipe for German Pancakes is that they are so easy to make. All you need are five ingredients that most people already have laying around their home. Typically, extra trips to the grocery store are not necessary. Which is a huge plus!
I love making this recipe for my grand daughter, because she gets excited to see them puff up when they come out of the oven. Please don’t let the strange appearance discourage you, because that’s what makes them so much fun. Top these yummy pancakes with your favorite topping (syrup, jam, cinnamon sugar, fresh berries, etc.) and in less then 30 minutes breakfast is ready!
This German Pancakes recipe has now become a regular around our house. We eat it almost every weekend because it is so easy to whip up and the whole family loves it!

I am the biggest fan of a dutch baby and this was so crazy easy to make – and serves more than one person – bonus! My family ate up the entire pan and was begging for more. What a huge hit! I used powdered sugar and freshly squeezed lemon to whip up something sweet but not overly sweet and poured it all over with strawberries. Perfection!
