Mini German Pancakes remind me of the Dutch Baby Pancakes we make all summer. These are made in a greased muffin tin, but I had extra batter and made a 6″ pancake as well. They were delicious with our fresh peaches, but the grandkids enjoyed them with powdered sugar or maple syrup…or both. Try any fruit combination. Strawberry, raspberry, etc. The grandsons gobbled them up, so no leftovers for Grandma!

Mini German Pancakes

INGREDIENTS:

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ⅔ cup milk
• 6 eggs
• 4-5 tablespoons butter
• Toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup or fruit

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Whisk together flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add the milk and whisk smooth. Add the eggs and whisk again. Slice the butter into tiny pieces (a little less than a teaspoon each)
2. Place a small piece of butter (see Cook’s Note) in each muffin time and then melt the butter in the hot oven, about 2 minutes. When the butter has melted, remove from the oven and pour about 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture (I used a scant 1/4 cup size scoop) into each muffin tin.
3. Bake for 12 minutes, until hugely puffy and slightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven. The pancakes will fall immediately after removing them from the oven. Use a spoon to scoop out each pancake. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with syrup, or top with fruit.
