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!

Dutch Baby German Pancake Recipe (1)

Jump to Recipe

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

    1. With baking dish in the oven preheat to 400 F (I used a square 8×8 pyrex)
    2. Blend eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
    3. Place butter into hot dish and swirl around so it’s melted and sizzling.
    4. Pour in blended batter.
    5. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes at 400F.
    6. 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!)

    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!
