Looking for a fun and delicious breakfast or brunch idea? These easy mini German pancakes, also known as Pfannkuchen, are the perfect solution! Fluffy, golden-brown pancakes, small enough to pop in your mouth, are a delightful treat for both kids and adults. In this recipe, we’ll guide you through a simple process to create these delightful pancakes.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup milk
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp orange zest (optional)
- ¼ cup melted butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a blender, combine the first six ingredients (milk through orange zest) and blend well, ensuring any flour clumps are fully incorporated.
- If you’re not using a non-stick silicone pan, grease the muffin tins well or add a small amount of melted butter to each tin to prevent sticking. To temper the eggs, you can mix the melted butter into the batter a little at a time or add it directly to the muffin tins.
- Pour the batter evenly into 24 muffin tins (or about 18 if you prefer a slightly fuller muffin). I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to fill the tins almost to the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F, or until the tops are puffy and golden brown.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar or a berry sauce.
