If you notice, German pancakes don’t include baking powder or yeast. So it can be tricky to get a good rise. There are two key things to keep in mind to get a good rise in your German pancakes. According to thekitchn.com, giving your batter time to let the glutens and proteins in the flour develop can help (meaning, don't mix and pour and bake right away). Let your batter sit for a minute to develop, then give it another pulse or two in the blender to add more air into the eggs, which can help lift the pancakes. Also, make sure your oven — or pan if you are using a pan — are heated thoroughly to the correct temperature.
