Mini German Pancakes – A Fun and Easy Breakfast the Whole Family Will Love!

Who else is obsessed with German Pancakes? My family definitely is! But with only four corners to go around and five eager eaters at the table, someone was always left corner-less. That’s when I came up with the perfect solution: Mini German Pancakes! Now, everyone gets their own fluffy, golden “corner” and no one is left out. And who doesn't love a mini pancake?! It just makes breakfast more fun!

This quick and easy breakfast recipe is perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch. Best of all, it’s super versatile! Serve your mini pancakes with maple syrup, cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or even a dollop of your favorite jam—the topping possibilities are truly endless.

So tell me, how do you like to top your German Pancakes? Let me know in the comments!

Instructions

This recipe can be so quick! Preheat the oven and put a small square of butter into each muffin tin well. Pop this in the oven until the butter is melted while you blend the remaining ingredients.

Tips

Honestly, this recipe is so easy. Let the kids watch them in the oven as the they puff up, because when they come out they fall fairly quickly. My only tip is adding the butter to the muffin wells and melting in the oven while the oven preheats. Just keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn. I also like to make sure my batter is even in all wells of the tin so that it all bakes evenly.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon butter cut uniformly
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
    Slice the butter and evenly distribute between two muffin pans.
    Put pans in oven while it is preheating to melt the butter.
    But keep an eye on it so butter doesn’t burn.
    In a bowl or blender, beat together remaining ingredients.
    Then pour some batter into each well making sure it is equally divided.
    I find about ⅛ of a cup or slightly more is exactly what I need.
    Bake for about 11-14 minutes, or until it is golden brown, or as golden as you prefer.
