Cast Iron German Pancake

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and slowly incorporate the milk. Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture with a whisk. Add the butter and incorporate.

Place a thin layer of vegetable oil into a medium-sized cast iron pan. Heat the pan and use a ladle to portion out the pancake batter. (Optional: Put a spoonful of fruit into the middle of each pancake.)

Place the pan in the oven for about 8 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula, and add more oil to the pan. Return the pan to the oven for another 6 minutes. The pancake is cooked when an inserted knife tip withdraws clean.

To Serve:

Dust each pancake with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with maple syrup on the side.
