German Pancake with Berries
We spent most of the weekend watching March Madness. I am kind of obsessed and I don’t know if it is good for my health. My stress levels are through the roof:) I love filling out my bracket and watching each game in suspense. On Sunday, Josh whipped up a German Pancake with Berries for us to eat while we watched the basketball games.
A German pancake, sometimes called a Dutch Baby, is a thin, crepe like pancake that is made in a skillet or pan. I think it is the easiest pancake to make. Very few ingredients are needed and you don’t have to stand by the skillet filliping pancakes all morning. You bake the large German pancake in the oven. The pancake puffs up while baking and climbs the sides of the skillet. Josh served the pancake with mixed berries, maple syrup, whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar. It was the perfect treat.
If you are feeling lazy, but still want a delicious breakfast or brunch treat, try a German pancake with berries.
Thanks everyone for your kind words on our “big news” post. We are excited and appreciate all of your support.

I love that Josh is taking care of the mama to be, how sweet!
I’ve never had a German pancake! This looks awesome.
You are so lucky to have Josh take care of you and cook too!
Do you know that I actually learned how to make these in cooking class in middle school? I was so obsessed with them, but haven’t made them in ages! Your version looks spectacular- especially with all the fresh fruit!! Hope your picks are winning!
i love german pancakes! there’s one at a little place we used to live by in dallas that served it with roasted apples…HOLY.YUM.
How gorgeous!!
I went to Germany the summer I was 13. I lived on these!! and have been wondering for the past 2 decades how to make them. Now i know..thankyou!!!!
Drool City!
Yum! I love the looks of that German pancake. I did stand flipping pancakes over the weekend, and I think I would have preferred this
Love that german pancakes can be made in the oven! Sounds like a fun weekend
xo
German pancakes are one of my absolute favorites and yours looks AMAZING! Thanks for the recipe, I can’t wait to try it!
I always love finding recipes for “german pancakes”. They all look delicious, but I have to say that they are very different from a traditional German Pancake. The real ones have a very different egg-flour-milk ratio, do not contain any flavors or fat and are baked in a skillet. Although I have tried a lot of different variations already, I’ve never seen any that were baked in the oven. They do look delicious though, I guess I have to try some American German Pancakes
This is my recipe:

I hope you’ll find the time to try it one time
I am such a fan of German Pancakes! Looks so good
How sweet of Josh! This looks incredible.
How beautiful is that?? I bet pretty darn delicious too!
We make these all the time, in fact, I was going to post my recipe next week! it’s a little different than yours, but yours definitely looks delish! We call ours Dutch Babies, like you mentioned. I may have to try your recipe next time!
I make these often for my family. In fact we had them on Saturday. My absolute favorite way to eat them is with fresh peaches or some sauteed apples. They are so easy to make that it’s one of the first things I learned how to cook and now my older kids know how too.
I make pancakes for my son almost every morning – I’ve never made them this way. I’m going to have to give it a try!
I haven’t had a German pancake in years, but I grew up being SO excited when my dad would make them for Sunday brunch. These look fabulous
So sweet of Josh to make breakfast, this looks great
I’ve been watching tons of March Madness game too!
This looks delicious! My bracket is somehow doing really well… too bad I know nothing about college basketball!
Love these!! Made one yesterday for brunch!! My family calls them mircacle pancakes! I will have to add the berries next time! That sounds so yummy!!
Looks amazing!
I’ve never tried a German pancake before but it definitely looks like I’d love it!
I love the fresh berries on these pancakes…and the fact that you can just throw them in the oven instead of standing over the stove!
looks divine! And btw, catching up now on my blog reading and want to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! I’m so excited for the third pea in the pod

Thanks Jenna!
Congratulations on your big news! I am sure the baby, when old enough, will enjoy this gorgeous pancake!
looks fantastic!! I can’t wait to make this! It was so fun having lunch last week. Congrats again!
We adore Dutch babies and yours looks wonderful. One thing can be certain – that little baby of yours is going to be a sports fan.
He’s got “babies” on his mind, eh?
I just made one of these a few weekends ago, a nice switch sometimes from griddle pancakes (which, of course, I still love).
Yummy on this one. I’ve always wanted a recipe for this.
Mmmmm dutch babys! I always loved them growing up. Speaking of babies, congrats on your soon to be new pea!
dutch babies are a big-time favorite at our house – especially w/fresh summer berries! and CONGRATS MARIA & JOSH on the new soon-to-be pea!!
These looks like a must try now that I have my cast iron skillets that I love and can’t believe I ever lived without. *swoon*
Looks like a fantastic breakfast to sit around watching the game with!
I love German pancakes and these look as good as any I’ve seen. Thanks for the recipe, I’ll give it a shot one of these days!
I’ve been dyinggg for a German pancake recipe from someone in the food blog world!! Now i have a great excuse to make this! Thanks and congrats on the third little pea
I luv dutch babies too!! I do have a problem with the rising part. Is it because I used a nonstick pan? Please help with advise.

We’ve never had a problem with them not rising. The pancake usually puffs right up and climbs up the side of the pan. Hmmm…I’ve used a non-stick pan before too.
