This is a recipe my wife found in a magazine a few years back that has been a favorite of ours and the kids for breakfast. It is super easy to make.
German Panckake
Makes 4 servings
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk is better)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
Heat oven to 400 degrees. While oven is warming up, in a large bowl whisk the eggs. Once eggs are whisked add the flour and whisk until smooth. Add the milk, salt, and vanilla and mix. Set aside. Add the butter to a large cast-iron skillet and transfer to oven until the butter melts. Remove quickly and pour batter into the hot skillet. Return skillet to the oven and bake until the pancake is puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle on confectioners’ sugar. You can also cut up strawberries and bananas to put on top with syrup or jam.
