Description

These Mini German Pancakes are light, fluffy, and perfectly portioned for a delightful breakfast or brunch. Made with a simple blend of flour, milk, eggs, and a touch of sugar and vanilla, these oven-baked treats puff up beautifully and are served dusted with powdered sugar and fresh lemon wedges for a refreshing finish.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For Serving

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh lemon wedges


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin using non-stick spray or butter to ensure the mini pancakes don’t stick.
  2. Blend the Batter: In a blender, add the all-purpose flour, milk, large eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend them until the batter is smooth and homogeneous, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway to allow room for the pancakes to puff up during baking.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake the mini pancakes for 12-15 minutes, or until they puff up noticeably and the edges turn a beautiful golden brown.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven carefully. Dust the mini German pancakes generously with powdered sugar and serve them immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a tangy and fresh contrast.

Notes

  • Ensure the batter is smooth by blending well for the best puff and texture.
  • Filling the muffin tin only halfway is essential; otherwise, the batter may overflow as it bakes and puffs.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the pancakes at their fluffiest.
  • Fresh lemon wedges add a nice acidity that balances the sweetness perfectly.
  • These can be reheated briefly in the oven, but they are best eaten fresh.
