Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup butter
Instructions
- Beat the eggs. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl.
- Add milk. Add the milk and vanilla, and beat with the whisk until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients. Using a sifter or a fine mesh strainer, sift the flour and salt over the egg mixture in the bowl. Then, stir it all together until you have a smooth batter. Set the batter aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Prepare to bake. While the batter rests, preheat the oven to 400°F. Add the butter to a 9x13 rectangular dish. Place the baking dish in the oven and allow the butter to melt completely, about 3-5 minutes.
- Bake the pancake. Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and pour in the pancake batter. Bake the pancake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are brown and puffy.
- Serve. Remove from the oven and serve your German pancake while still warm, dusted with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Sifting is optional. You can absolutely just whisk the flour and salt together before adding them to the egg mixture.
