We love to eat Breakfast for Dinner. It’s easy and I have all the ingredients. One of our favorites is Pop Up Pancakes, or as my husband’s family calls them, German Pancakes. I like to put a little twist on them by cooking these in muffin tins. They cook up as little puff balls and are easy for the kids to eat.

Pop Up Pancake Recipe – makes 24 muffins or fills a 9×13 baking pan
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- dash salt
- Preheat oven at 400*

I like to blend all the ingredients in my blender. I have tried to whisk it or even use the electic mixer, but it seems to get the most smooth with a blender. Then grease your muffin tins or baking pan. My mom likes to bake these in a jelly roll pan.


Bake them for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top. Use a knife to pry them out, hopefully they were greased well enough and should pop right out.

Now they are ready for toppings. I love syrup, powdered sugar, and fruit. You could even use fresh Strawberry Jam. We usually load it all on and dive in. What do you use to top your pancakes with? Maybe peanut butter or honey?

These actually seem to be a sweet Yorkshire pudding – very interesting!
We made these for dinner tonight. All I can say is they were FABULOUS! Super simple and an easy clean up!
What a neat idea! My mom used to make German pancakes, but in pie tins and they were very difficult to eat, but SO delicious. I will definitely try making these for my kids, they’ll love them!
My husband lived in Germany for a while, so we have adopted the German pancake and love it. BUT! I will probably ALWAYS make it in muffin tins now (or at least, as long as I have small children!). Thank you! This was a fun meal for when daddy was gone!
These look really good to eat! I’d love to try them!!
Visiting from SITS today. I’ve added you to my blogroll!
(Oops, my blogroll at my other blog: Karen & Gerard Zemek in case you go to look and can’t find it, thought I’d better let you know.)
It’s early, my brain is not in full gear yet.
what an AWESOME idea. I love German pancakes, but hate making them in 1 giant pan (and never do). Just made these in muffin tins for dinner, and the husband and I devoured them. THANK YOU for an AWESOME idea–these would be so great for a brunch too–WAY easier to portion out than 1 giant pancake!
