German Baby
Experience the delightful puff of a German Baby pancake, a simple yet impressive oven-baked treat. This airy pancake, cooked in a cast-iron skillet, rises dramatically in the oven and then gently deflates upon cooling. Serve it with a dusting of confectioners' sugar, alongside bright lemon wedges, warm maple syrup, and your favorite jam for a truly memorable breakfast or brunch.

01 Step

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). (5 minutes)
02 Step

Place butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Put the skillet in the oven to melt the butter while the oven preheats. (5 minutes)
03 Step

In a large bowl, whisk eggs at high speed with an electric mixer until light and frothy. Gradually add milk and flour, whisking until just combined and smooth. Avoid overmixing. (5 minutes)

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Swirl the melted butter to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet. Pour the batter into the hot skillet. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Return the skillet to the oven and bake until the pancake is puffed and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. It will dramatically rise like a souffle, and then deflate slightly once removed from the oven. (25 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Remove the skillet from the oven. Lightly dust the German Baby pancake with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, warm maple syrup, and jam. (2 minutes)
For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
Make sure your skillet is thoroughly heated with the butter to ensure the pancake doesn't stick.
Don't open the oven door while the pancake is baking, as this can cause it to deflate prematurely.
This recipe is easily adaptable. Feel free to experiment with different flours (like whole wheat or gluten-free blends) or toppings to suit your preferences.

Dec 30, 2024My German Baby deflated a little too much. I think I opened the oven too early. Next time, I'll be more patient! Still tasted great though.
