The Rare Breakfast: Mini German Pancakes with a Triple Berry Sauce

I found this recipe on Pinterest and knew I had to try it! These cute little pancake cups are filled with an amazing berry sauce and topped with whipped cream; who wouldn't love them?! They are fairly easy to make while half asleep, too.

Mini German Pancakes:

Things you'll need:

1 cup of milk
6 eggs
1 cup of flour
1/2 tsp of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp orange zest
1/4 cup of butter melted

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Blend everything together except the butter, making sure to get all of the clumps of flour out
• Blend in butter a little at a time in order to temper the eggs
• Grease muffin tins well and using a 1/4 cup measuring cup fill the muffin tins only with the 1/4 cup, they should be just over half way full
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top

When they bake the center will collapse so it turns into a perfect little cup for whatever filling you'd like. When they come out of the oven they are huge, but soon after they will shrink, and it's really fun to watch! Here is the recipe for the sauce I made.

Fruit Sauce:

Things you'll need:

4 cups frozen fruit
1 cup water
1/2 cup honey
2 Tbsp. cornstarch

• Put fruit, half the water and honey in sauce pan and bring to boil
• Reduce heat to simmer
• Mix cornstarch with remaining water and stir until lumps are gone
• Pour cornstarch mixture into berry mixture while stirring slowly
• Stir until it thickens (about 1 to 2 minutes) and begins to bubble

I would do this again but with a berry sauce instead
