German Pancake: a wickedly easy recipe

A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake, is a sweet breakfast dish similar to Yorkshire pudding and derived from the German Apfelpfannkuchen.

My recipe comes from a South Carolina church cookbook, in which the food is labled a "bismark".

4 Tablespoons butter (more or less)
Place in a pie pan and set in 475 degree oven to melt.

Mix well:
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs

When the butter is melted, pour batter into the center of the pie pan and return to oven.  Bake for 12 minutes.  The pancake will be puffy and golden.

Serve with your favorite syrup or with a little lemon juice and powdered sugar.

I make something very similar putting apples on the bottom of the pan. These pancakes are very impressive looking and very easy.

yum, haven't made this in a long time - I add vanilla and cinnamon, then top with 10x sugar

I'm glad you liked it Michelle - and btw, My pyrex plates have never had a problem with the temp, although I'm sure your cast iron worked fine!
