How to Make German Pancake With Buttermilk Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  3. In a blender, combine 3 large eggs, 1 cup milk, and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
  6. While the pancake bakes, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 2 tablespoons light corn syrup.
  7. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  8. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
  10. Once the pancake is cooked, let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Spoon the buttermilk sauce generously over the slices of pancake.
