German Skillet Baked Pancakes Recipes

GERMAN OVEN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. If you have a convection oven, set it at 425°F (the pancakes rise even higher on the convection setting).
• In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk or fork. Stir in the milk, melted butter, salt and sugar. Add the flour to the egg mixture, a big spoonful at a time as you continue to whisk. Be careful not to over-mix, to keep the pancake light and fluffy.
• Lightly spray a 9"-11" oven-safe skillet with cooking spray.
• Pour the batter into a heated skillet (this will yield a more golden brown, puffier pancake). Bake 12-18 minutes, just until the edges are golden. Check your pancake at the 12 minute mark. Top with the fresh fruit and whipped cream just before serving.

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a large blender, combine the eggs, flour, and half-and-half. Blend on medium speed until the batter is fairly thick and smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender container several times.
• Place 4 tablespoons of the softened butter in each of two 10-inch or 11-inch cast-iron skillets. Place each skillet over low heat and melt the butter.
• Pour the batter over the melted butter in the skillets, making sure the batter is evenly distributed.
• Carefully slide the skillets into the oven. Bake the pancakes for 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
• Transfer the pancakes from the skillets to large plates or shallow bowls with a large spatula. Immediately pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter over each pancake. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and place wedges of lemon for squeezing on top of the sugared pancakes. Serve immediately.
