Mini German Pancakes are light, puffy, golden pancake cups baked in a muffin tin. With a soft center and crisp edges, they’re easy to make, fun to serve, and perfect for topping with powdered sugar, syrup, or fruit.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 mini pancakes

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into 12 small pieces (1 per muffin cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Add milk and whisk until smooth, then add eggs and whisk again until fully combined.
  4. Place a piece of butter into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin.
  5. Put the tin in the oven for 1–2 minutes, until butter melts and sizzles.
  6. Quickly pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into each cup (about halfway full).
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until pancakes puff up and turn golden.
  8. Remove from oven, lift pancakes out, and serve warm with toppings of choice.

Notes

  • Ensure the muffin tin is hot before adding batter to help them rise.
  • Cinnamon is optional; omit for a more classic flavor.
  • Add a splash of vanilla for extra aroma.
  • Best served fresh, but can be stored and reheated.
