German Puff Pancakes

This German puff pancake recipe yields a puffy, oven-baked buttery pancake—it's so easy! You may never make standard pancakes again. Pour your favorite syrup over it or dust it with confectioners' sugar. Adding more butter is unnecessary because it's already baked onto the top and forms a delicious, salty, buttery crust.

Ingredients

6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons salted butter

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Whisk eggs, milk, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
Melt butter in a 9x11-inch baking dish in the preheated oven, making sure it doesn't burn, about 5 minutes.
Pour batter into the baking dish with melted butter.
Continue baking until pancake is puffed and no longer moist in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
