Description
Hootenanny Puff Oven Pancakes, also known as German Pancakes or Dutch Babies, are a delightful twist on traditional pancakes. A golden, crispy, and airy pancake that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5–8 Tablespoons of butter
- 6 eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 c. milk
- 1 cup flour
- Optional: add a half a teaspoon of vanilla and a teaspoon of cinnamon
Instructions
- First turn on oven to 400. Put 5-8 Tablespoons (the original recipe called for the whole cube of butter–I prefer less) of butter in a 9×13 pan. Put the pan in the oven to heat up. It is important to heat up your pan before pouring the batter into it; this makes the the pancake get puffy and form peaks and valleys while it bakes. Usually by the time I have the batter whipped up the butter is melted. (Don’t let the butter burn, though.)
- Blend the rest of the ingredients in your blender and pour into the melted, sizzling butter in the hot pan. Bake at 400 for 20-25minutes. The pancake will be all puffed up in crazy “hills” and golden. Serve hot with syrup–and my favorite, sprinkled with lots of berries! Yum!
