Mini German Pancakes
A practical and tasty way to enjoy classic German-style pancakes cooked on the stovetop, perfect for small kitchens or quick breakfasts.
Ingredients
For the pancake batter
- ½ cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- ½ cup Milk (or powdered milk + water) You can use water or plant-based milk substitutes if needed.
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- For pan Butter or oil
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add milk, sugar, salt, and optional vanilla.
- Slowly mix in flour until the batter is thin and lump-free.
Cooking
- Place a non-stick or cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Add butter or oil to coat the surface evenly.
- Pour small circles of batter (about ¼ cup each) into the skillet.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
- Flip gently and cook another 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
Notes
Use medium heat to avoid burning. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for better texture. A lid can be used briefly to trap steam for extra fluff. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
