A delightful twist on traditional German pancakes, these fluffy treats are perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Combine the sugar, eggs, milk, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate and the flavors to meld.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil.
Ensure the pan is evenly heated to prevent uneven cooking.
Pour a portion of the batter into the pan, spreading it out to form a pancake, and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
Use a ladle to pour the batter for consistent pancake sizes.
Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown.
Flip the pancake gently to avoid breaking it.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as powdered sugar, preserves, or fresh fruit.
Arrange the pancakes on a plate and garnish with a sprig of mint for a decorative touch.
