What is a dutch baby?

A dutch baby is very similar to a traditional pancake only you pour batter into a hot skillet and then baked at high temperature in the oven. The dish actually originated in Germany and is most commonly served with fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Whether you call it a german pancake recipe or a dutch pancake, this dutch baby pancake recipe is always delicious!

What could be better than a deep dish dutch baby pancake straight from the oven?! This easy breakfast recipe is a classic, delicious staple that the whole family can enjoy!

Blueberry Dutch Baby pancake:

Ingredients:

3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 fresh blueberries
1/2 tsp lemon zest
Icing sugar
Butter
Maple syrup

Tip: use fresh ingredients to make this single large pancake in a 9 or 10-inch cast iron skillet. Be sure to use an oven-safe skillet and an oven mitt when handling the dish.

Note: you can also use a medium bowl to combine eggs, whole milk and flour. A blender works best but a food processor or hand mixer would work too.

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit and put a 9 inch skillet on the middle rack of the hot oven.

2. Blend together eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, zest and vanilla.

3. Mix for about 1 minute until frothy.

4. When the oven comes to temperature, remove the hot pan.

5. Coat the heated skillet with melted butter, add the blueberries and then the pancake batter.

6. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pancake is golden brown and puffy.

7. Serve warm with butter, syrup and a sprinkle of icing sugar.

This is the perfect dish for pretty much any day of the week. It’s super quick and easy to prepare and always delicious!

How to serve a dutch baby:

These are amazing topped with butter, syrup and icing sugar.
Or top them with fresh fruit, brown sugar, lemon curd and whipping cream.
Serve them like the original pancake house dutch baby recipe with lemon wedges, whipped butter and powdered sugar.
Top your dutch baby with fresh granny smith apples, cinnamon sugar and heavy cream.
Bacon, eggs, sausage and hash browns are great served with this dish.
You can store these pancakes in an airtight container (or covered in plastic wrap) at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for up to one week.

These are a huge hit with the entire family! We also love this classic dutch baby, french toast casserole and cinnamon roll casserole for Sunday brunch too.

Why did my dutch baby deflate?

The pancake will rise because of the stream created with the milk and egg mixture in the oven.
It will naturally deflate moments after leaving the oven.
To get the maximum volume be sure to have your oven and skillet piping hot before pouring in the pancake batter.
Mixing the batter in a blender until it is foamy also helps it to rise and puff up.

The addition of blueberries makes this our favorite dutch baby to date. But the possibilities are endless!

We love to use fresh berries found at the farmers market in this great recipe. I can see cherry and peach dutch babies in our near future too.
