To create the perfect Fluffy Baked German Pancake, begin by whisking together your ingredients to achieve a smooth and homogenous batter. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt. It’s essential to start with room temperature eggs and milk, as this helps the batter blend more easily. Using a whisk, mix the ingredients vigorously until no lumps remain. The batter should be silky and slightly thick, resembling a pancake batter consistency but with a bit more fluidity. This ensures that the pancake rises evenly in the oven, creating that iconic fluffy texture.

Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Optional toppings: Powdered sugar, fresh berries, lemon wedges, maple syrup

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

      Place the butter into a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) and place it in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes until the butter is melted and bubbly.

        Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and pour the batter evenly over the melted butter.

          Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.

            Once baked, remove the pancake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. It will deflate a bit, which is normal.

              Serve immediately with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, fresh berries, lemon wedges, or drizzle with maple syrup as desired.
