This is the best German Pancake recipe I have ever tried, and I've tried sooooo many over the last ten years. I use an 8" cast iron pan since I'm alone for breakfast so I cut the amounts of ingredients by 3 to fit the pan. I've never had a German Pancake rise and not fall but this one stood tall, even after cooling. It is nice to have the hints about bringing the milk and eggs to room temperature and...no preheating of the pan! I'm sold, this recipe is a keeper and I can ignore all others.
IT TRULY IS THEEEE best! by far!
1 1/3 cup flour
3 tbl sugar
1 tbl lemon zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cups milk
6 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 tbl butter
Thank you!
A true hero
No wonder! I made with 13/4 cup flour which is too much n made the pancake so dense !
@@goldencrown8437 That's like…3 cups of flour. Bruh…
This is essentially double Chef John's recipe from Food Wishes. Only his has no sugar or lemon zest in the batter. His recipe calls for 3 TBSP of clarified butter in a ripping hot 10" cast iron skillet into 425° pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes.
Recipe:
Dry:
1 & 3/4 Cup AP Flour
3 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Wet:
1 & 1/2 cup milk
6 Large eggs
1 & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1) Add 2/3 of wet to dry, whisk, then add the rest being careful not to overmix but whisking till smooth
2) Add 3 tbsp butter to a 12-inch non-stick oven-safe skillet and melt over medium-low heat
3) Once melted, add batter to skillet and place into cold oven
4) Turn on oven and bake at 375*F for 30-35 mins, or until nice and golden brown & risen massively
Apple Compote:
1 & 1/4 lb apples; cored, peeled, and diced by cutting in half, then half again, then diced
1) In a skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter over medium heat
2) Add 1/3 cup water & 1/4 cup brown sugar & 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon & 1/8 Tsp salt
3) Add apples, bring to simmer, then cover and cook for 5 mins
Serve warm with apple compote!
You are awesome! Thank you so much !
❤this Dutch Baby recipe. Thanks for writing it down! 😊
I made it. OMG, turned out perfectly. Couldn't get over how high it got.
Most importantly, everyone loved it. I had heard of these, but never had one. I'll be making more.
Thanks
@Donna S - I can't get my head around putting the batter in a COLD oven instead of a screaming hot one! But it really did turn out, eh?
Hi, I'm English and this recipe is very similar to Yorkshire Puddings. We used to have them with a roast and then the remainder we used to have afterwards with sugar, butter and lemon on them. Delicious.
Yorkshire pudding, Dutch Babies, and popovers have really similar batters. If you have a way to watch it, Alton Brown did an episode of Good Eats (sorry to post about a rival show, ATK...) about popovers, and showed that by slightly modifying the ingredients that go in the batter and the method of cooking/baking, you can make all three.
Also, I really should try Yorkshire pudding someday. It looks/sounds amazing every time I see a recipe for it come up on TH-cam. :)
Tried this recipe and it was spot on. Personal tips:
1. Beat eggs thoroughly until light and airy, because they are your leaven substitute.
2. Adding cinnamon compliments the nutmeg and essence very well.
Being able to make something like this, with few ingredients and simple instructions, is just invaluable. Many of your recent videos have been similarly great. Thanks so much! You're making this dad look like a superstar, ha!
That was the best German pancake I've ever seen. Of course it was Dan who made it. I definitely will be trying this one soon.
At first I was blown away by all the eggs.... As I watched, I realized that I just had to make this. It looked divine and not overly complicated to make. Meaning, even I could make it. Thank you.
Love this show
I made this for Hubby last Sunday. IT was wonderful!
Here we go Again perfect recipe,beautiful food , and just Dear Dan can make!
That looks amazing! I'm definitely trying this
I use this recipe, its the BEST!
Definitely trying this one.
Just love this channel!!!
This is exciting! I can’t wait to try it!!!!!
I love this recipe! It is so easy to make and it’s foolproof. I have made it many times. I also like eating it with jam. And like they said, it is a real showstopper. I really like the custody Bottom of this recipe, it is sort of like the texture of French toast. Delicious!
AWESOME gonna try it!
Yum. My mom used to make these when she was in a good mood which means every few years or so. I vaguely remember she served them with fresh lemon, real maple syrup and berries.
O-oh…
I grew up on German Pancakes. This is a nice variation on the method. Turns out great and tastes great. Thanks for the recipe!
Yum. Gotta try this one!
Looking nice...Thank you so much for great meals.....
Thanks it turned out just the way you people did it , and i enjoyed it very much , the only thing is , I didnt get any syrup with my apples , it all cooked away . But it all tasted very good 😃
That looks so delicious! Dan is awesome.
It's not the way I make dutch babies but I'll give it a try I like the sound of the custard bottom and when I make dutch babies the regular way they are kinda' dry.
Dan is the greatest!
Wow seems very interesting and easy to make, definitely like it
The recipe for popovers I inherited from my mother (and I'm 71 years old) calls for using a well-buttered non-stick muffin pan, and putting them into a cold oven and setting it to 450, and they pop beautifully. I like the crispy tops ;-)
I’d love the recipe....
I wish oh wish I had my grandma’s hand written recipes.
But I’m one of 17 grandkids and grandma had 7 kids... she also usually had her in-laws living in the basement grandparents apartment and always had extra kids and family members around... I’ll have to ask my aunts... because I really don’t think Grandma used written recipes. She would make three or four different things for breakfast or lunch, for the bunch of kids at her house, me being one of them. Lucky me.
I've seen this one twice before but I don't really mind. The world needs more Dutch babies.
What a wonderful German pancake / Dutch baby recipe. I even messed up a little bit on it the second time that I made this recipe and was able to correct it adequately and it turned out just as beautiful as the first time. Thank you!
I'm trying it to ring in the New Year! Should be yummy!
Very nice…baking this tomorrow. Sharing
I have to try this.
What a great recipe for German pancakes!!
LOVE ATK .... and love this recipe!! I have to cook and eat gluten free and really love your two GF cookbooks. by the way .. this works great with GF flour .. I did add about a half tsp of Xantham gum to the dry ingredients.
Thank u Love u guys watch every weekend.will pass this along 🤗👀
Love this recipe. Making it for the kids this weekend.
Amazing..
My grandbabies love these. This is a great recipe.
Dutch grandbabies?
THATS WONDERFUL ,,, LOVE YOUZZZZZ GUYS I WISH I COULD COOK THE STUFF ,, BUT I'LL JUST WATCH THANKS
Good recipe!! Very Well explained!! Thanks!! ♡ D
This dish looks Tasty and appears to be very easy to make.
Thanks, ATK.. You're amazing as you make me want to make dishes I've never heard of and a German pancake is one, and boy does it have a wow factor. I'd try it with a blueberry sauce instead of apples.
Great recipe, imoressive yet easy to do. I haven't had a fail.
This recipe is awesome. I diminished it by 1/3, and it was still a showstopper. I tried Martha Stewart and many others, but this was the absolute best!
dan is my hero
Yummy!used to get at Bickford's Family Restaurant in Connecticut before they went out of business!
Cool, i'm learning.
I make a berry compote instead of apple. Blueberry or raspberry make a great compote for german pancake.
Love the video woah no idea how I ended up here now of all times its late and I was just watching Delta Parole Music Videos and now I am here and getting hungry for this. Time to eat after I watch. lel
I'd love to try Dan's pancakes. And the ones he cooked too 😘
i know it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to watch new series online ?
@Adriel Derek lately I have been using flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Patrick Luka Definitely, I have been using Flixzone for years myself :D
@Patrick Luka Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !!
@Adriel Derek Happy to help :)
looks interesting
Amazing! I’d rather make it myself than go out to eat, it’s wonderful!
Brunch - I'll try this for dessert too.
i love dutch baby!
Makalu & Doc Hass they are wonderful friends ❤ they helped me so much while I been Sick 😷 Times coming 😢 when I have to say goodbye 👋 💔 😢 one of them. Just thinking about that makes me REALLY SAD 😥 😞😢 I know many many people has done that 😞 GOD will always 🙏 give you 🙏 HOPE no matter what is next. I am still trying to learn this after all the changes has happened 🙃 I am glad 🙏 😊 ☺ ❤ Thank God for his Help 👋 🙏 ❤
Yum!
I was watching videos in this just yesterday I think they’re reading my TH-cam history 🤤
yum
I love the look of the German pancake and would love to have some of them each morning with my eggs, sausage, and hash browns. The way you all cook such delicious food I would love to be there to taste test all you all cook up and be your guinea pig.
What size pan did you use
It looks like an 11" pan - would appreciate if someone could confirm!
That is really yummy. I’ll have to try it
I want that knife!
Mine NEVER rise up on the sides like yours. I'm going to try your recipe with the apples on the side, I've always cooking them in the batter. Very impressive presentation.
I can't eat this as I am allergic to eggs but I am curious. Have you ever taken apple slices and dip them in the batter and deep fried them?
@@brat46
Sounds like apple fritters. Those are delicious too.
@@brat46 No, I hardly ever fry things but it sounds delicious. Like James said, it's like apple fritters which I've never eaten.
The Brits are going crazy. "That's a Yorkshire pudding"!, I can almost hear.
Prescient 🤔
A transplanted Brit said the same thing about my popovers. i told her that here, popovers had nothing to do with beef, and were small receptacles for butter and jam.
No, you can have your popovers and German pancakes, they’re sweetened and flavoured. A Yorkshire pudding is an unsweetened and unflavoured version, these are just bastardised version of it. But the Yorkshire pudding did come first.
They are, but delicious in this form too. My Mother used to make yorkshire puddings for eating with the roast and then the rest we had afterwards with sugar, butter and lemon juice on them. Must revisit, feel nostalgia coming on!
Bet this would taste great with Einkorn Flour.
I travel quite a bit and have seen these on several menus in U.S. restaurants but they were always called Dutch Baby. I never noticed German pancake for some reason. Nonetheless, very tasty. 👍
In the Detroit area the Original Pancake House makes a German Pancake and a Dutch baby, 2 different kinds....
I hope you're not making it the way this sorry excuse for a chef is making it ? This isn't the right way to do it.
@@ScottyRawdy
Please offer your alternative recipe...
Merci viel mal..
@@tomasaldente2622 two different sizes. Otherwise identical.
That was great! And even easier. Thank you. I'm going to try tomorrow on new year's day!
They make it seem hard but it is really easy
You've been my favorite since the beginning.
I absolutly love you ladies and your team, Lisa and Adam and there gadgets. Priceless.
I didnt know those are for sharing. I ordered it at a restaurant and when i was done with it, i felt so heavy i swore i would never do it again
Thanks for the recipe, looked delicious.
I did laugh at the beginning when it was said the ratios are important and then the ingredients are measured instead of weighed. I was taught to weigh when the ratios are important. But it looks like it worked, so who am I to judge.
If you look at the recipe they have a weight for the flour as well
Anyone know what size skillet that is?
I love Dan!! He is so meticulous!!!
As a German here is a fun fact...
In the south, what we call a pancake is basically a thicker crepe. Then there is something like a jam filled donut (but without the hole in the middle) which we call Berliner.
In Berlin / the area around it, what we call Berliner is called a pancake and what we call pancake here, is called egg cake there. :D
However I have never seen the pancake like the one in the video and it looks so amazing!
"Ich bin ein Berliner" as JFK said
This was created by German immigrants in the states, so while it has German roots its mostly an American creation.
I think this is more a Dutch Baby. My German mother, Oma, and Omi (great grandmother) all made German Pancakes. They were more like thick crepes, often filled with applesauce and/or jam/jelly. My mother preferred to make them with almond extract vs. vanilla extract. I LOVE German pancakes; but I’m sure I’d love this version from ATK as well.
@@sweeney60 It's more a Dutch Baby. Dutch Babies are an American invention. The problem with German and Dutch is simply that many people mistake Dutch for German. However, that is not the same. Incidentally, the Dutch may react more angrily to this mix-up than perhaps Germans - for historical reasons.
Looks so good!
Should the eggs and milk be at room temp?
creme brulee custard would be great on the side
What brand is the oven? I want one with ball bearing racks and rounded back! Thanks!
It's a Wolf oven
My husband and I agree @ 6:22 sounds like our honeymoon!
Cold oven was a game changer for me. Best topping thought is fresh lemon and powdered sugar together. (weird but amazing)
Lemon juice mixed with powdered sugar, or what exactly? How do you prepare this?
I'd never heard of a popover (except as a loose layer of clothing to popover an outfit). Google says it's basically a yorkshire pudding. I've seen dutch baby pancakes here in Australia but they're generally served from the back of a van at marketstalls and events. You get about ten 1.5" tiny pancakes with masses of sugar and lemon and no other discernible characteristics other than 'fried' (and overpriced).
Any pointers for those of us with standing pilots? Our oven sits at about 90º when off, and, I'm guessing, climbs in temperature much faster than electric. My plan on the next go 'round is to raise the temp by 70º every 5 minutes until 375° is attained, which hypothetically will give us 375° for the last 10 minutes.
Wow really nice! may I ask what size pan you used?
I did everything this recipe asked for but I added 1-2 tablespoons of lemon...the pancake became very thick and dense after 30 minutes...was the lemon the reason? no idea...now I have to remake without the added lemon to see...any ideas?
What brand knife is that uses with the apples
This was amazing, fun, and easy to make. I was sceptical at first while making it but this was spot on
shes just agreeing with everything
What is that knife he uses?
Seems very tasty! I would like to ask how many cm is the skillet you used for the pancake?
My guess is it is about 25 cm.
Perfection every time. AND boy does it impress the family
Looks great ❤ Could I use a 13x9 Pyrex or a rectangular cake pan? My non-stick pans are cheap & the handle would most likely melt if I put it in the oven. I don’t have access to cast iron either
Used a nonstick rectangle cake pan (smaller than 13x9) & it took about 35 minutes 😍 very good even without the apple topping. Thank you!
Could it work with just egg whites/ no yolks? What adjustments could be made to compensate?
You can get the Dutch Baby and a Apple Pancake at The Original Pancake House. The franchises in the Chicago area are Walker Bros Original Pancake House.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker_Bros.?wprov=sfla1
I tried this recipe and two issues popped up. 1. 6 eggs is too much, 3-4 should be sufficient. 2. I needed more time in the oven since the Dutch Baby only started to pop in the last 2 minutes of the end time. Other than that, a very good recipe.
3:18 would make a great gif 😁
what size is the cast iron ?
best sample at 7:05
This went PERFECTLY. Loved making them with my girlfriend. :3
That’s so adorable!!
