Originating from Germany, the super puffy German pancake is an iconic breakfast dish. It's often called Dutch baby pancake or German oven pancake as the batter is poured into a hot buttered skillet or cast-iron dish and then baked in the oven. The pancake is an excellent alternative to traditional pancakes and crepes. The fusion of savory and sweet flavors makes it a versatile dish that can be served with different toppings such as berries, bananas, caramel sauce, honey, or whipped cream. It's perfect for a family breakfast or brunch occasion, or when you want to impress your guests with an unconventional dish.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C).
2.	In a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish, melt the butter in the oven.
3.	In a blender, mix together milk, eggs, flour, and vanilla until smooth and frothy.
4.	Pour the batter into the buttered pie dish and bake in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the pancake is puffy and golden.
5.	Serve hot with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fruits.
