Experience the delightful puff of a German Baby pancake, a simple yet impressive oven-baked treat. This airy pancake, cooked in a cast-iron skillet, rises dramatically in the oven and then gently deflates upon cooling. Serve it with a dusting of confectioners' sugar, alongside bright lemon wedges, warm maple syrup, and your favorite jam for a truly memorable breakfast or brunch.

For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
Make sure your skillet is thoroughly heated with the butter to ensure the pancake doesn't stick.
Don't open the oven door while the pancake is baking, as this can cause it to deflate prematurely.
This recipe is easily adaptable. Feel free to experiment with different flours (like whole wheat or gluten-free blends) or toppings to suit your preferences.

    My German Baby deflated a little too much. I think I opened the oven too early. Next time, I'll be more patient! Still tasted great though.

  • Eleazar Volkman

    A great base recipe! I added some blueberries to the batter, and it was delicious.

  • Brando Herman

    I was intimidated to try this, but it turned out perfectly! The tips about the hot skillet were very helpful.
