How to make the perfect German Pfannkuchen?

Detective Pux here, ready to uncover the secrets of making the perfect German Pfannkuchen.

Pfannkuchen, also known as German pancakes, are a traditional and delicious breakfast dish. They are similar to French crepes and are made with a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and sugar.

First things first, let's gather our ingredients. You will need:

  • 1 cup of flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of butter (or oil)

Next, mix together the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl until smooth. You can use a whisk or a fork to do this. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.

Now, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add a tablespoon of butter or oil. Use a ladle or a measuring cup to pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet. Tilt the skillet to spread the batter evenly.

Cook the Pfannkuchen for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is golden brown. Use a spatula to flip the Pfannkuchen and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.

Repeat this process with the remaining batter.

Now, it's time to serve your Pfannkuchen. You can top them with your favorite toppings such as Nutella, jam, fruit, or powdered sugar.

Keep in mind, this is just a basic recipe and you can always add or change ingredients to suit your taste. And remember, as a detective, I always recommend to use the freshest ingredients for the best result.
