👨‍🍳 Cooking Instructions

Full recipe instructions for preparing Pfannkuchen

🔥 Prep

  • Sift the 200 g flour into a mixing bowl to avoid lumps.
  • Crack the 3 eggs into a separate bowl and lightly beat them.
  • Measure out 400 ml milk and set aside.
  • Measure 1 tsp salt.
  • Melt 1 tbsp butter (you can melt it in the microwave or a small saucepan) and let it cool slightly.

🔥 Cook

  • 1. Heat a non‑stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat until hot, then add a tiny dab of the melted 1 tbsp butter to coat the surface.
  • 2. Pour approximately 60 ml of the batter into the pan and immediately swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
  • 3. Cook the crepe for about 30‑45 seconds until the edges begin to lift and the surface looks set.
  • 4. Flip the crepe using a spatula or your fingers and cook the other side for another 20‑30 seconds until lightly golden.
  • 5. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate, cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm, and repeat steps 1‑4 with the remaining batter, adding a little more butter to the pan as needed.

🔥 Serve

  • Serve the Pfannkuchen warm, folded or rolled, with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a wedge of lemon.
  • Offer sweet fillings such as fruit jam, Nutella, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
  • For a savory option, fill with ham, cheese, and sautéed spinach, then fold.
  • Pair with a hot beverage like coffee, tea, or a glass of apple juice.
