Pop Up Pancakes

I was looking for a German pancake recipe and got distracted when I ran across this instead from Make and Takes. The whole family seemed to like them, they are kind of on the egg-y side, but I guess that's what makes them puffy.
Get a load of how the shape turned out completely different in two different muffin pans.
Kinda strange, huh? But, the little cup shaped ones were perfect for holding a bunch of blueberries!

  1. That is so weird that each pan turned out so differently. I almost want to make them to see what outcome I would have :)

  2. These look fantastic - and versatile. I can't wait to make them. And I hope mine turn out in the little cup shape. :)

  3. I left an award for you at my site. I'm terrible at this stuff. I think you gave me one at Christmas but I never got around to forwarding it. But here you go - because you make me smile!

  5. They are really cute. Except my kids would freak if a whole blueberry was on their pancake!

  6. Yeah, the crazy girl child won't eat berries either. But the boy will eat any kind of berry we throw at him. Not that we often throw berries at him.

  7. Those are so neat! I love the shapes and how you can fill them with various yummy things. Excellent recipe!

    To answer your question on my blog - this is the first time I ever cooked with edible flowers actually and I was pretty skeptical about them but I liked the taste especially in the foam. It was a little bit sweet, a little bit nutty and a little bit tangy in flavors.

  13. Pop up pancakes? German pancakes? What are you on about? These are Yorkshire puddings! :)

    Traditionally in the UK we eat them with roast beef: http://www.thecotswoldfoodyear.com/2009/02/sunday-lunch-in-cotswolds.html. A true Yorkshireman would eat them on their own before eating beef to fill them up so they would eat less meat - that's economy. And the left overs would be eaten with jam for dessert - like what you've done here.

    Different national cuisines are fun.

    The trick to make them cup shaped is smoking hot oil in the tins, dry oven heat (nothing steaming) and keeping the oven door shut.....

  15. Oh my, that looks delicious. The top ones look like individual Yorkshire puddings. I think I'm going to try this for lunch today...perfect for such a snow covered day!

  16. those look good. I wonder why the non-stick (at least it looked non-stick) pan made them cup shaped? Interesing.

  17. That is incredibly weird that they turned out differently.

    And now I feel compelled to watch that awful and ridiculous pancake puff commercial (which I have to admit, rather cracks me up)

  18. Ohhhhh, I love the ones that turned out as a cup...what a great idea for brunch!

  19. i came across this recipe on what a card's blog. my four year old and i made them for breakfast this morning and all i can say is YUM! we served them up with a dusting of powdered sugar, some fresh, sliced strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.

    FWIW, mine turned out cup shaped in the smaller (12 cup) muffin pan. we have a confection oven, so maybe there is something to that dry heat philosophy?

    i've never had yorkshire pudding; now i know! thanks for sharing!
