How to Make Mini German Pancakes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a blender, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, and 1 1/2 cups milk.
  3. Blend until smooth, ensuring there are no flour clumps. Slowly add 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter while blending.
  4. Grease a 18-24 count muffin tin well.
  5. Evenly distribute batter among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffy.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings (see suggestions below).
  9. **Strawberry Sauce:**

  13. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  14. Carefully transfer 1 1/2 cups of the strawberry mixture to a blender (leave lid slightly ajar to vent steam).
  15. Blend until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pan.
  16. Stir the blended sauce back into the remaining strawberry mixture in the saucepan.
