Matcha & White Chocolate Baked German Pancake

This baked German pancake is fluffy, crisp, and deep with matcha and white chocolate flavor.

Baked German pancakes are a certified showstopper! They go in the oven as a simple batter and rise impressively to create a fluffy and puffed-up spectacle that is delicious to tuck into.

This special dish is also known as a Dutch baby in the Netherlands, but the Germans will argue that the dish originated in their native land.

In this recipe, we have jazzed up the original with the addition of earthy matcha, sweet white chocolate, and condensed milk.

Matcha is the beverage of the moment right now, so we had to use its unique flavor notes to add something special to this pancake.

This is contrasted perfectly with the caramel notes of white chocolate to create the perfect balance of flavor.

Ingredients

• 
• Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden with slightly crispy edges.

• Once out of the oven, sprinkle white chocolate shavings over the warm pancake so they melt slightly. Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk and dust with powdered sugar.
