Sweet Dutch Baby Pancake Recipe
This is not a traditional Dutch pancake recipe and not really know here in Holland at all.
However, the Dutch baby pancake recipe is also known as German pancakes but being Dutch I go for Dutch baby pancake.
It is not a small dish either and is made in a cast-iron skillet.
The original recipe is from the 1900s and made by a family-run cafe in Seattle that specialized in breakfast recipes.
Sweet Dutch Baby Pancake Ingredients
Making pancakes from scratch is actually very easy. To make a sweet Dutch baby you need a limited amount of ingredients and a blender.
You need the following ingredients for this recipe:
- All-purpose flour
- Milk
- Large eggs
- Sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
- Real butter
- Blue and raspberries
- Icing sugar for serving
How To Make Sweet Dutch Baby Pancake
This recipe takes 5 minutes to put together. The easiest way is to make the batter in a blender to make sure all the ingredients are properly combined.
You can also combine the ingredients in a bowl and whisk by hand. For the best result let the batter rest for 20 minutes before baking.
Start by adding the flour in the blender then add the:
- Sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Eggs
- Salt
Blend for a couple of seconds and scrape the sides of the blender. Then blend the batter again for half a minute so the flour can absorb all the ingredients.
Set the blender aside. Preheat the oven at 450℉ and put your cast-iron skillet in the oven while it heats.
The skillet should be piping hot. When the oven is hot, take the skillet out.
Work fast to not let the skillet cool down too much. Melt a knob of butter in the pan. Then pour all of the pancake batter, into the pan.
Replace the skillet in the oven and let the sweet Dutch baby pancake in the oven between 20 to 25 minutes.
The Dutch baby will puff up in the oven. When the pancake is done put blue and raspberries on the Dutch baby and finish it with icing sugar.
Toppings Options For Dutch Baby Pancakes
Dutch baby pancakes do not necessarily have to be sweet and can also be savory.
Give these toppings a try:
- Fruit – Besides blueberries and raspberries you can also use banana, strawberry, peaches, or pear on your pancake
- Ham – To make a savory pancake add serrano ham, Parma ham, or Raw ham. Just put them on top of the Dutch baby as soon as it comes out of the oven. Pull the ham apart and divide on top of the pancake
- Jams – Take a spoonful of your favorite jam, like strawberry jam, berry jam, apple jam, or fruits of the forest jam
- Sweet topping – you can add regular granulated sugar, coconut sugar, agave syrup, or apple syrup
- Cheese – sprinkle mozzarella, parmesan, or melted brie on the Dutch baby when it comes out of the oven. You can put it in the oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese
- Margherita Dutch Baby – bake the Dutch baby as described and halfway through take out the skillet. Add all the ingredients as described in the Margherita flatbread pizza we have over at the Tortilla channel
