GERMAN PUFF PANCAKES

Puffy oven-baked buttery pancake. It's SO easy! You may never make traditional pancakes again. Pour your favorite syrup over it, or just dust powdered sugar on top. There's not much need to add more butter because it's already baked onto the top and forms a delicious salty and buttery crust.

Kittencal's German Apple Puff Pancake image

This is a recipe I developed years ago, a small amount of baking powder is what makes this recipe special! it's a family favorite and takes very little time to throw together, I sometimes just bake the complete recipe in a 10-inch round cake pan, but two smaller pans will do fine also, you will *love* this!:)

GERMAN APPLE PUFF PANCAKE



German Apple Puff Pancake image

We saw this recipe on Michelle Greenwald's (www.magicalmeltingpot.com)Yahoo Blog, and gave it a try. We both assumed it would be too sweet and gooey for breakfast, but since it's dreary and rainy this morning, figured we'd fire up the oven and give it a try. YUM! It wasn't too sweet at all, and the pancake had a bit of a custardy taste. It was easy to put together and made enough for the both of us, with a couple bites of crust left over for our four dogs. The recipe omits instructions for making up the batter, but we just combined the ingredients and mixed well. We used a 10-inch iron skillet, but any oven-safe non-stick pan would do.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large apple (eg. Delicious)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup milk, at room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
  • Peel the apples and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet.
  • Add apple slices and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture. Saute the apples until they soften and become light golden brown on both sides (approx. 4-5 minutes).
  • While sauteing the apples, beat eggs and combine with milk, flour and salt, stirring well to make a smooth batter.
  • Pour the batter over the apples and place the pan in the hot oven.
  • Bake approximately 18 minutes. Do not open oven while baking. Use oven light to check. Pancake is done when it no longer appears wet on top.
  • To serve, invert the pan over a dinner plate.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or griddle to ensure that the pancake has enough room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Make sure the butter is melted and the pan is hot before adding the batter. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough pancake.
  • Cook the pancake over medium heat. This will help to prevent the pancake from burning.
  • Flip the pancake only once. Flipping the pancake too often can result in a deflated pancake.
  • Serve the pancake immediately with your favorite toppings. This could include butter, syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

German Apple Puff Pancake is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion. The pancake is light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior and a tender interior. The apples add a sweet and tart flavor, and the cinnamon and sugar add a touch of spice. This pancake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
