Some call this Dutch Babies, but I do think it is German. Personally, I think this is what a nice hostess makes to impress brunch guests. Prepare to make more than one batches; before you know it, it's gone and your guests will ask for more.
This is one simple version. You can always use fruits in season, add coulis to top, pipe fresh-whipped cream to crown, and dust with your favorite flavored sugar. Or, you can have a savory version with your chosen vegetables - steamed or stir-fried but just not too much liquid and add your family version of marsala or madeira reduction.
Your oven must be able to hold the temperature. Note that most ovens vary between the indicated and the actual temperature. I use a gas oven with a big stone tile that I add to its base to stabilize the distribution of heat.
Depending on how you would like the presentation to be, deflated or crown-shaped, baking time is either 20 or 25 minutes, consecutively.
For this version, you will need:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cold whole milk
3 eggs
a pinch coarse kosher salt
3 tablespoons cold butter
one pint strawberries, rinsed and pat dry
3 bananas
some confectioner's sugar for dusting
The pan that I used is a 9-inch pyrex pie pan.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. The temperature must reach this number to achieve the result as pictured. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, put together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup milk, 3 eggs, and a pinch coarse salt.

still delicious though. Going to make it for Easter!
You talk about keeping it in the oven for 5 minutes once it looks a certain way, but this isnt accurate for baking. Also, only once do you mention the temp. the oven should be, and thats half-way into the instructable.
Please add some time and temperature instructions to the front page and throughout as you move along the baking process.
~ Thanks
Thank you for your feedback. The reason I only put the temperature once is because the oven has to hold that same and stable temperature. Most ovens vary between the shown and actual temperatures. The length of baking is twenty minutes to rise it. Some people like the look to deflate on serving, but I prefer the crown shape, so the total baking time is 25 minutes. I will edit the opening instruction.
All pancakes in germany that I´ve seen are flat ones like in this instructable:

Deutsch is German for German... (In Deutschland man spricht Deutsch) Hence I believe it to be German.
Those folks brought a lot of recipes with them from their motherland.
Looks delicious though.
When I think of pancake, I usually envision something like a French Crêpe, but considerably thicker. Almost like the 'typical' American pancake, but larger in diameter and definitely not drowned in gallons of maple syrup (scnr).
This one looks like an inverted mushroom ;-)
