These Puff Up Pancakes, more like a French crepe, are delicious and also super fun. I remember as a kid my mum gathering the kids to watch the pancakes come out of the oven all puffed up and watch them sink down. The best way to describe the taste is like a pancake-slash omelette, but pastry-like.

If you love European-style pancakes, you could also use a Dutch pancake maker for pint-sized portions, perfect for kids.


Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter

Method

  1. Combine milk, flour, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a blender and mix on low speed until smooth (or mix by hand with a whisk until mostly smooth).
  2. Grease a 13×9 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Place oven rack in bottom of oven and preheat to 230 degrees C. When oven is almost preheated, place butter in prepared baking pan and place in oven until butter is melted. Pour the batter into the hot pan.
  3. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and fluffy.
  4. Slice and serve hot with your favourite pancake toppings!

Notes

Top with maple syrup, icing sugar, berries- whatever you’d like.

  • I made this a couple of weeks ago but subbed the normal flour for Gluten Free flour. It worked a treat and was so delicious. Will make again.

  • These look so unusual! They would be so much easier to get right than normal pancakes too as you don’t have to worry about the fuss of flipping them or getting them scorched in the pan! They look every bit as delicious and with that element of fun with the puffing up. Will have to try at our next cooked breakfast!

  • I’ve seen pancakes like this before on tv, but have never had the luxury of trying them. Thank you for the recipe, this will be really fun to try out. I love a pancake topped with powdered sugar, fresh berries and cream, while my husband will only have squeezed lemon juice and sugar.

  • Omg my mouth is watering. These look absolutely delicious. This would be a perfect Sunday morning brunch option to enjoy with the family and get everyone involved in the process. Too it with some freshly whipped cream, fresh raspberries and strawberries and you have the perfect Sunday morning treat. I am so trying this recipe out this weekend.

  • Sounds like an idea rather than cooking them all one by one. Would save alot of time.

  • Being European myself, we never baked the pancakes in the oven. Also be aware that the more eggs you use in a pancake, the drier they become.

  • Love this idea of cooking it all at once. No standingaround for 25 minutes. One and done!

  • They look very interesting and I like the way they are cooked at once in the oven. So hard to keep normal pancakes warm until served. Thanks for the recipe.

  • I like the idea of pulling them all out of the oven and eating together as opposed to cook as you go

  • not sure I could be bothered waiting for them to bake but they do sound delicious so worth a try, especially if I have the oven on for something else.
