Oh yum! These mini german pancakes were the perfect thing for breakfast the other day. There is something about poofy food, you just can’t help it, you have to love it. I don’t know what it is, but when something is all poofed up it just seems to say “Yes, I am amazing and will taste amazing so go ahead and dive in.” Oh, it’s just me that thinks that? Ok, well I’m sticking to it, things that come out of the oven all puffed up always make me want to chow down.
Oh, but don’t you worry, I feel the same way about berries which is why even after the middles are down on these baby German pancakes I still think they are ridiculously delicious.
Wasn’t this a great way to start our 4th of July morning? I thought so. Plus, minis are always more fun. Don’t know why. Usually it’s bigger is better, tv’s, houses, boats etc, but when it comes to food isn’t it kinda fun to have pop ’em sized food?
My husband had a roomie that always made German Pancakes and while I don’t have Jordan’s recipe anymore I do have mine and guess what, I think mine are just as good! I knew my husband would go crazy when he saw what I was making and I was right.
I liked mine with berries and powdered sugar, but of course the hubs had to have his with syrup. You can do whatever your little heart desires, but I do promise you one thing, no matter what way you serve them you and your fam’ is going to love Baby Germans

I have made these before but not with muffin tins! Love the idea!
You say mix just until incorporated however I was always told to blend it or beat it with a mixer on high for quite a while as this is what causes the batter to puff, is this because they are the small ones ? Muffin tins can they be the aluminum throwaway kind?

I made these and they were really good. Beware though! Maybe I added too much butter in the bottom of the tins, but the butter spilled over into the bottom of the oven making a really greasy smokey mess. Next time I will put a pan underneath to catch any spillover.

Oh dear! Yes, watch how much butter is added for sure.

I will make them again. The children really liked these. It is so easy and fast! It’s funny, because when I make muffins they like to put the muffn in a bowl, and then pour in milk. The children treated these like regular muffins and put it with milk in a bowl, eventhough I explained they were German pancakes like I’ve made in bigger pans before. They still had maple syrup, fruits and whipped cream on top. Yumm!
