German Pancakes or Dutch babies are so yummy but sometimes you just want a small batch recipe. This is a great portion for two hungry people or two adults and a kid or two. It would be delicious with a smoothie or fresh croquettes!

It is no secret that we are night owls in my house. After all it’s well after 2 am and I’m just now getting to typing this out plus I still plan on reading some of my book before I shut my eyes.
All that’s to say that a couple weekends ago when I woke up long after the rest of you had enjoyed your breakfast as I did my now morning ritual of pursuing Instagram (addicted I tell you) I started drooling over all the yummy breakfast food.
I needed them. I’ve had a version at The Original Pancake House before but I had never tried to make them myself.
My mom was very pessimistic when I called her telling her what I was doing (I guess hers have always deflated on her).
Every time I have seen a recipe it seemed like it made a huge amount. I was still a little unsure about 6 eggs just for the two of us so I did a bit of tweaking and it turned out perfect for two hungry tummies for brunch.
So when mine was all poofy and beautiful (not to mention tasty) I was so so excited!
German Pancakes Recipe
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 TB sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 Tablespoons butter
How to Make a Small Batch of German Pancakes
- With baking dish in the oven preheat to 400 F (I used a square 8×8 pyrex)
- Blend eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Place butter into hot dish and swirl around so it’s melted and sizzling.
- Pour in blended batter.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes at 400F.
- Pull out of the oven, squeal with delight, post picture bedhead and all on instagram ;) oh I mean eat it and enjoy the deliciousness that was so ridiculously easy you have no idea why you didn’t try to make them sooner. Try it with a squeeze of lemon and some powdered sugar yum!
I hope you like them!

This is so funny… I am from Germany and here we don’t make our pancakes like that. I’m always giggling when I see a recipe like this ;) Does anybody know why they’re called german??
(Weill, I use nearly the same ingredients, but I never make them in the oven, always in the pan!)Midsommarflicka

We love these at our house too! Except they are from my Swedish grandma and we call it by a Swedish name. They love watching it rise in the oven as it bakes and think it’s so funny when it deflates once it’s been out of the oven a bit! Just popping by from SNAP! :)

I have this in the oven right now, worried about how it will turn out as I forgot to melt the butter in the pan while preheating it. I added cheese and ham to the batter to make it savory instead of sweet. Hopefully it will be good!
