Notes

For fluffy, German pancakes two things are essential:
  • Use a blender. This gives the batter the airy texture needed to "puff up" while baking.
  • Preheat the baking dish. Leave the 9x13 pan in the oven for the entire time the oven is preheating. Remove it only when you add the batter, then return it immediately to the oven.
