Pfannkuchen (German Pancakes)

Traditional German pancakes (Pfannkuchen) are so easy to make and a perfect cross between American pancakes and French Crepes. A classic German recipe made with simple ingredients that can be served sweet or savory.

📝 Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 cups milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 large eggs
• 2 Tbsp sparkling water (optional)
• unsalted butter (for frying)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using a hand mixer, combine flour, milk, salt, and eggs. Beat until bubbles develop, about 1-2 minutes. For the best results, put the batter in the fridge for 30 minutes.
2. 2Take the batter out of the fridge, add sparkling water, and give it a stir.
3. 3Heat a large pan (or two) over medium-high heat, then add some butter to the pan.
4. 4Transfer about ½ cup of the batter to the hot pan and tilt the pan so it spreads out evenly.
5. 5Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges are crisping up, about 2 to 3 minutes. Then flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
