German Pancakes Recipe

Place your skillet or 9x13 dish into the oven and preheat to 220°C. Note: The pan must be scorching hot before the butter goes in.

Add 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup sifted flour, 0.5 tsp salt, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and a pinch of nutmeg into a blender.

Pulse 20-30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.

Remove the hot pan from the oven using heavy duty mitts.

Drop 4 tbsp butter into the pan and swirl until it is melted and sizzling.

Immediately pour the batter into the center of the melted butter. Note: Don't stir it; let the butter pool around the edges.

Slide the pan back into the oven quickly to keep the heat trapped.

Bake for 20 minutes until the edges are towering and deep golden brown.

Observe the center; it should look set but still slightly soft and velvety.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately until the steam escapes and it begins to slightly deflate.
