When I posted this dutch baby pancake, it was like it went viral! I mean so many asked me for the recipe. So, here you go. The dutch baby pancake recipe!
This recipe is uber simple. And, if you Google recipes for dutch babies, you'll find they're all pretty much the same. But, I'm telling you this is the BEST Dutch baby pancake recipe.
Now this dutch baby pancake was made at high altitude, and I kind of thought that elevation helped make this pancake rise. However, I remade it in another skillet, this time a cast iron skillet, about 10″ diameter, and it didn't rise as high. While I'm no food scientist, I'm thinking the smaller skillet (about 8″ diameter and enamelware) that you see here in the pictures may have contributed to the rise. I mean the dutch baby had no place to go but UP!
When I returned to sea level, I made the Dutch pancake recipe again, and, it didn't disappoint. Didn't rise as high as it did in the Rockies, but still a winner.
Breakfast Pancake Ideas
Pancakes! Or maybe you're talking variations thereof-waffles, flapjacks, hot cake, griddle cake. I mean who doesn't get excited to eat cake for breakfast. And, I'm talking hot cakes with warm syrup. This Dutch Baby Pancake is simply a twist on great breakfast pancake ideas.
Dutch Baby Pancake
According to Wikipedia, yes, the ultimate quick source to finding information, says this about dutch baby pancakes:
While these pancakes are derived from the German pancake dish, it is said that the name Dutch baby was coined by one of Victor Manca's daughters, where "Dutch" perhaps was her corruption of the German autonym deutsch. Manca's Cafe claimed that it owned the trademark for Dutch babies in 1942.
My plans are to make dutch babies, as in plural. I'm going to use a very large, Barney Rubble style, muffin tin and make individual babies. Honestly, I don't think there's any way one person could eat the skillet size dutch baby. However, my 4 and 6 year-old grandsons literally ate all but one small slice of this dutch baby that you see!
Dutch Babies
Regardless of what you call these glorious cakes that are eaten for breakfast, Dutch babies are on the short list for my grandkids. You can make them large in a single pan. Or you can use something like smaller skillets or ramekins and bake individual dutch babies. I guarantee with this easy recipe you'll have them begging for more!
