Super Puffy German Pancake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk the eggs, flour, milk, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside.
• Put the butter in a 9x11-inch baking dish. Melt the butter in the preheated oven, making sure it doesn't burn, about 5 minutes. Pour the batter into the baking dish with the melted butter.
• Return to the oven and bake until the pancake is puffed and no longer moist in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• While oven is heating, pour all the milk into blender, and set on the lowest speed. Just let it run, the more bubbles the milk has, the puffier the pancake will be.
• When oven is hot, put butter in large cast iron skillet and set into the oven, until the butter is bubbly in the pan.
• Crack eggs in a separate cup, and pour one at a time into blender (while it's still blending).
• Pour in the flour and the vanilla (if desired) and once it's mixed, pour immediately into hot cast iron skillet.
• Cook for 20 minutes.
• Now we're high altitude at 5000ft -- so if your lower, you may need to cook it longer. Just watch it, and when the edges are browned and it's all puffy, your ready to roll.
• Eat it just like any pancake, or some I know like it with lemon juice and powdered sugar. But either way, you'll love it! =D.
• Note: If you want to show it off, you'll have to make sure you have an audience as soon as it comes out of the oven, because it begins to collapse as it cools. It will keep some of its shape, but the real 'pow' is first thing out of the oven.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. If you have a convection oven, set it at 425°F (the pancakes rise even higher on the convection setting).
• In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk or fork. Stir in the milk, melted butter, salt and sugar. Add the flour to the egg mixture, a big spoonful at a time as you continue to whisk. Be careful not to over-mix, to keep the pancake light and fluffy.
• Lightly spray a 9"-11" oven-safe skillet with cooking spray.
• Pour the batter into a heated skillet (this will yield a more golden brown, puffier pancake). Bake 12-18 minutes, just until the edges are golden. Check your pancake at the 12 minute mark. Top with the fresh fruit and whipped cream just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Whisk together the eggs, sugar and salt until smooth.
• Whisk in the milk, heavy cream and vanilla extract.
• Add the flour and whisk until smooth.
• Heat butter in a 9-inch nonstick pan or a cast iron pan, until melted.
• Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon and cook until the sugar has completely melted.
• Add the apples and cook until slightly soft, about 8 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest.
• Pour the batter over the apples and place the pan in the oven.
• Bake until the edges are brown and puffy, about 16-18 minutes.
• Carefully invert the pancake onto a serving platter.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with some of the caramel sauce.
• Caramel Sauce:.
• Place sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat (do not stir), swirling the pot occasionally to even out the color, until amber in color, 10 to 12 minutes.
• While the caramel is cooking, place the heavy cream and cinnamon stick in a small pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Remove from heat and keep warm.
• When the caramel has reached the desired color, remove the cinnamon stick from the heavy cream and slowly begin adding the warm cream to the caramel and whisk until smooth.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the brandy.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter in preheating oven in a 9" pie pan. Beat together the rest of the ingredients. Batter can be slightly lumpy. Pour over the melted butter in the pie pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until puffed up and golden! Sprinkle with powdered sugar and lemon juice (optional).
