Description

Golden, airy, and lightly crisp mini German pancakes with a soft custardy center and a hint of cinnamon. Perfect for sweet or savory toppings, and ready in minutes with no flipping required.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp butter (divided into muffin cups)
  • 2 tbsp brown rice flour
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Add milk and whisk until smooth. Crack in the eggs and whisk again until the batter is silky and lump-free.
  3. Place a small piece of butter into each muffin cup. Place the tin in the oven for about 2 minutes, until butter is melted and sizzling.
  4. Quickly pour about 3 tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup. Bake for 12 minutes, until puffed and golden at the edges.
  5. Let cool slightly (they will deflate) and gently remove from the tin. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature milk and eggs for maximum puff.
  • Work quickly when adding batter to the hot butter for best results.
  • For gluten-free: Replace all-purpose flour with more brown rice flour and tapioca starch or use a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and appearance.
