What is a Dutch Baby Pancake?
The Dutch baby pancake is an eggy and fluffy popover pancake made in a cast-iron skillet. It’s also known as a German pancake, even though this is actually an American recipe.
It’s made with a simple batter and it’s great any time of the day: breakfast, brunch, lunch, or as a dessert.
This recipe goes great with my Egg in the Hole with Burst Tomatoes or my Poached Eggs with Hollandaise Sauce.
This beautiful pancake puffs up real tall in the oven and then, deflates a little once it starts to cool down. The edges are tall and crusty brown and so delicious.
This easy recipe calls for 5 basic ingredients in the batter:
- All-purpose flour
- Eggs
- Whole milk
- Salted butter
- Salt
Add all the ingredients to a bowl and then using a mixer, mix well until the batter is frothy. The frothier the batter, the more your pancake will puff when you cook it.
Pour the batter into a super hot cast-iron skillet and bake in the oven on high heat at 450F. The pancake puffs as it cooks.
Add berries and dust the top of the pancake generously with powdered sugar. Cut the Dutch Baby into slices and serve warm with maple syrup.
