Fruit for your German Puffy Pancake
We use any kind of fresh fruit..strawberries, bananas, raspberries and a drizzle of your favorite syrup and of course fresh whipped cream! or you can serve it the original way with a squeeze of fresh lemon sour cream and sprinkled with powdered sugar…either way it is so delicious!
After it comes out of the oven and as it sits it will start to deflate. To show off your gorgeous puffy pancake make sure everyone is around the table ready to eat! They will all oooh and ahhh when you bring this big ol fluffy pancake to the table.
Breakfast is always favorite meal at our house! This Puffy pancake is pure heaven I tell ya! There is something about gathering together as a family for a meal don’t you agree?

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450° F. Note: it is very important that you preheat your oven. Place oven rack on the middle rack of your oven. Place a large, heavy cast iron (usually 10″) in the oven until hot or 9 X 13 baking pan or round pan with the butter in it.
While pan is heating and butter is melting, prepare your batter. In a large bowl or blender, beat the eggs until light and frothy; add milk, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon and orange zest; beat for 5 minutes more. The batter will be thin, but very smooth and creamy.
Pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet, all at once, and immediately return the skillet to the oven.
Bake approximately 20 – 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown (bake until the pancake puffs up around the edges) – it may puff irregularly in the center. The timing will also depend on the size of your pan or skillet.
Carefully remove the pancake from the oven and serve immediately. Once out of the oven, the pancake will begin to deflate.
Serve with sliced lemons and powdered sugar for traditional style. Or serve with all kinds of fresh fruit, whipped cream and maple syrup.
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
I have always just eaten these ghe traditional way with lemon and powdered sugar. It didn't occur to me to add fruit. I am sure it tastes good with the fruit as it tastes good plain too!
Marty...such a great idea for dessert!! What do you put in it for dinner?
Oh this is one of my favorite things to eat in all the world. I love it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert. Always a treat.
