German Oven Pancake

5.0(228)

Cooking with children requires patience and a deep tolerance for mess. It rewards magic tricks — true transformation of ingredients into something delicious. This recipe delivers, and how, with a pancake that puffs up beautifully as it cooks. You can top as suggested with warm applesauce, jam or maple syrup, or try fresh fruit and whipped cream instead. It’s a child-friendly recipe that will last for decades.
