IHOP German Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 475.

2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer. Mix in milk, cream, sugar, vanilla and salt. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Sift in flour and mix until smooth. Let batter rest for about 10 minutes.

3. Coat the bottom of a 9- or 10-inch oven safe skillet (cast Iron is best) with the melted butter. Pour batter into pan and bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown on top and dark brown around the edges. Pancake will rise substantially while cooking. Remove the pancake form the oven and let it sit for a minute. Loosen the pancake around the edges with a spatula, then slide it out of the pan onto a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with butter and syrup on the side.
