Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit).

Step 2

Whisk the Eggs

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy.

It is important to use ingredients that are at room temperature for the best results.

Step 3

Mix the Liquid Ingredients

Add the milk and a few drops of vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Combine Dry Ingredients

Next, incorporate the flour and baking powder into the wet mixture.

Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture until it resembles a thick yogurt consistency.

Step 5

Prepare the Pan

Place an oven-safe skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven with the butter until melted and sizzling.

Carefully pour the pancake batter into the hot skillet and return it immediately to the oven.

Step 6

Bake the Pancake

Bake the pancake for about 18 to 40 minutes, depending on your oven and skillet.

It is done when it has risen significantly and forms a beautiful golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Serve the Dutch Baby

Remove the pancake from the oven and serve it immediately. Top with powdered sugar, fresh berries, and a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy your delicious and fluffy Dutch Baby pancake!

Servings

Once your Dutch Baby is baked to perfection, the fun truly begins with the toppings! Start with a dusting of powdered sugar for that sweet finish, and then get creative. Fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries add color and a burst of flavor that complements the pancake beautifully. For an extra indulgent touch, don’t forget a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top – it melts into the warm pancake and creates a heavenly experience! 🍓🍦
For a touch of citrus, try adding a sprinkle of lemon juice or zest to enhance the flavors.

Hosting a brunch? Your Dutch Baby can serve as the centerpiece of the table! Pair it with crispy bacon or savory sausage to balance the sweetness, and serve alongside freshly brewed coffee or a refreshing mimosa. 🥂 You can even set up a toppings bar, inviting guests to build their own masterpiece – after all, who doesn't love customizing their breakfast?

This is essential for achieving the perfect rise and crispy texture in your Dutch Baby. Make sure it's well-seasoned for best results!

Variations

If you're looking for ways to make this delicious treat more inclusive, don't worry! You can easily adapt this Dutch Baby pancake into gluten-free and vegan options. 🌿✨

For a gluten-free version, simply swap regular flour for a high-quality gluten-free blend. Ensure to check the blend contains xanthan gum for the best texture.
For a vegan Dutch Baby, replace the eggs with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken before adding it to the mix, and use almond or oat milk instead of dairy milk. 🥛🥑

Faq

  • What if my Dutch Baby doesn’t rise?

    A couple of factors could affect the rise. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature and your oven is preheated properly. Also, ensure you use a hot skillet with melted butter before adding the batter!

  • Can I make the batter ahead of time?

    It’s best to prepare the batter just before baking for optimal fluffiness. If you must make it ahead, keep it in the fridge, but give it a good mix again before pouring into a hot skillet.

  • Should I adjust the recipe if I have a larger skillet?

    Yes! If you’re using a larger skillet, consider increasing the ingredients proportionally to maintain the same thickness and ensure it cooks thoroughly.

  • How can I store leftover Dutch Baby?

    Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results to regain that crispy edge.

  • Can I add fruit into the batter?

    Absolutely! Chopped fruit like apples or berries can be folded into the batter before baking for extra flavor. Just be cautious not to add too much as it might affect the rise.

  • What’s the best way to serve a Dutch Baby pancake?

    Serve it hot straight out of the oven with your choice of toppings. Adding a drizzle of maple syrup or chocolate sauce can take it to the next level!
