  • 60 ml/ 2 fl.oz/ ¼ cup milk
  • 60 ml/ 2 fl.oz/ ¼ cup heavy cream
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 50 g/ 1.7 oz/ ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

German pancake:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Divide the egg whites from the egg yolks. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, add 2 tablespoons sugar and continue whisking until stiff again.
  • Melt the butter and let cool slightly while you prepare the rest. Mix together the egg yolks, milk, heavy cream, salt, vanilla extract, and the melted butter.
  • Sieve the flour over this mixture and incorporate it. Fold in the egg whites as well.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet. Add the oil. Pour in the batter, turn down the heat and cook the pancake for about 2 minutes until the bottom is lightly brown.
  • Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until the pancake is golden and fluffy.

Strawberry sauce:

  • In the meantime clean and halve or quarter the strawberries, depending on size.
  • Melt the butter in a small pan, add the honey and the sugar and let caramelize shortly.
  • Add the strawberries, lemon juice, and cinnamon and cook shortly, while stirring gently, about 2-3 minutes until coated and warmed through, they should not become mushy.

Serve:

  • Turn the pancake onto a large plate or platter, cover half of it with the strawberry sauce and fold the other half over the strawberries.
  • Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.
