This is one of my boys favorite breakfasts. I love to make it for them because it is really easy for my to blend up and then pop into the oven. I have heard this recipe called German pancakes, Dutch pancakes, oven pancakes…but we call them Hootenanny pancakes. (Just because it is such a fun word to say!)

Hootenanny Pancakes

First turn on oven to 400. Put 4-8 Tablespoons (the original recipe called for the whole cube of butter–I prefer less) of butter in a 9×13 pan. Put the pan in the oven to heat up. It is important to heat up your pan before pouring the batter into it; this makes the the pancake get puffy and form peaks and valleys while it bakes. Usually by the time I have the batter whipped up the butter is melted. (Don’t let the butter burn, though.)
Mix in a blender:
6 eggs
½ tsp salt
1 c. milk
1 cup flour
Blend up above mixture and pour into the melted butter in the hot pan. Bake at 400 for 15-20minutes. The pancake will be all puffed up in crazy “hills” and golden. Serve hot with syrup–and my favorite, sprinkled with lots of berries! Yum!

Yummy! I’ll definitely try that this weekend.
oh man I love these!!
These are a favorite. I learned to put in sliced apples and cinnamon sugar just before you pour the batter in. It tastes like apple pie.
This looks like a Dutch Baby, these are so good and the only way I can make a half decent pancake! LOL!!
I love these, my family calls them German Pancakes and I remember them from growing.
Also, I left you an award on my blog! Thanks for creating such an awesome blog that I always look forward to reading!
That looks yummy…I just made the same recipe myself but put it in muffin tins. One commenter told me it was Yorkshire puddings! I’m way fancier than I thought :) Like your blog, btw
I love that you guys call them that. I have never before heard anyone call them that but me and my family. I always get made fun of for calling them that so I am happy to know there is someone else out there that calls them hootenanny hotcakes!! I love to check our your food blog.
We call this a Dutch Baby. I use the same recipe except I use 4 eggs instead of 6. I serve them with canned peaches and sprinkle some brown sugar on top.
We call them hootenany pancakes too- I love them! Thanks for sending me to your great blog- I see a lot of things I am excited to try! Do any of you live in Mesa by chance? I want to share this blog on a “Mesa blogs” website if so! Thanks~
I grew up calling them German Pancakes or Dutch Babies. They are still a favorite with my kiddos. A variation with 3 eggs, 1/2 C milk, 1/2 C flour – on melted 1 1/2 T butter. Your recipe looks like it creates a larger amount so I will have to try. My favorite topping for it is lemon juice and powdered sugar. YUM!
We also call them Hootnany Pancakes. I like to use the whole stick of butter. Makes them taste all the more amazing.
Tastes best w/ homemade syrup…
1 1/2 cups white sugar 3/4 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup butter 2 tablespoons corn syrup 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda. Bring to a boil, and cook for 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla.
After making this for years, I figured out the secret ingredient is a teaspoon of vanilla in the batter. It makes it delicious. Also if you turn up the temperature in the last few minutes to 425 it bubbles more!
I love that others call this hootenanny! But, don’t forget the song when you pull it out of the oven.
