Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. We typically just put them in glass Pyrex containers portioned out into individually servings so we can reheat easily in the morning!

Start with room temperature ingredients if you have time and think about it. This way everything bakes at the same rate, reducing the chance of an unevenly baked puff pancake. If not, it’ll still puff up just fine!

Don’t skimp on the butter. This German pancakes recipe uses plenty of butter on purpose. It helps the pancake to rise and bake, but also prevents sticking and really adds flavor to the pancakes!

Avoid reheating the leftovers in the microwave as they can get kind of soggy when they’re warmed up that way. I highly recommend the oven warming method I mentioned above!
