Baby Dutchman Pancakes Easy Recipe


Servings 4 Prep ~ 15minutes mins Cook~ 15minutes mins Total~ 30minutes mins
Ingredients Needed - 3 large eggs - 2/3 cup whole milk - 2/3 cup all-purpose flour - 2 Tbsp sugar - 1/4 tsp salt - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract - 2 Tbsp butter

Instructions 1.) Prepare the batter first. In a large blender, add the eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and no lumps remain. Let the batter sit at room temperature to warm. 2.) Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven and begin preheating to 425ºF. Let the skillet heat in the oven for an additional 10 minutes once the oven reaches the set temperature. 3.) Using an oven mitt, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the butter. Swirl the butter around in the skillet and place it back in the oven for 30-60 more seconds until the butter begins to brown (be careful not to let it burn). 4.)Carefully remove the skillet from the oven again and swirl the butter evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the skillet. Quickly pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet. 5.)Return the hot skillet to the hot oven and bake for 14-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown and has puffed along the edges and in the center. 6.)Once the Dutch baby has finished baking, slice the pancake into four or six pieces and serve with maple syrup and fresh berries on top (optional). Goes splendidly with any jam and jelly.

What Is A Dutch Baby? A Dutch Baby pancake is like a cross between a popover and a crepe. It’s essentially a giant skillet pancake made with a thin, eggy batter that puffs up around the edges as it bakes in the oven. A Dutch baby is light, more eggy, and less cake-like than traditional American pancakes. It looks super fancy, but trust me it’s actually very easy to make.
