Pfannkuchen, also known as German pancakes or Dutch babies, are a traditional German dish made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and sugar. They are typically cooked in a skillet and served as a sweet breakfast or brunch dish, often with toppings such as fruit, powdered sugar, or maple syrup. They can also be filled with savory ingredients like cheese and herbs for a more substantial meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Powdered sugar and fruit for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Pour the batter into the skillet and cook until the edges start to turn golden brown and the center is set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the pancake warm with powdered sugar and fruit, or any desired toppings.
