Dutch Baby

February 15, 2017 by kristen massad Leave a Comment

IMG_6522Weekends are made for family time, lounging and Dutch baby pancakes. These pancakes are like a combination of pancakes, crepes and popovers, and they are as much fun to make as they are to eat!

A Dutch baby, sometimes known as a German pancake, a Bismarck, or a Dutch puff, are baked in a cast iron skillet and puff to great heights while cooking. There are a few tricks to making these puffy pancakes.

Start with a thin pancake batter consisting of eggs, milk, flour, sugar and butter that is combined in a blender to create the smoothest consistency. While you are making your batter, heat your cast iron skillet in the oven before buttering. A hot skillet and melted butter ensures you will have the puffiest and tastiest Dutch baby.

Once the Dutch baby is baked, you will have a crunchy edge and a thin, crepe-like middle that can be filled sweet or savory ingredients. A classic Dutch baby can be enjoyed just like a traditional pancake with a dusting of powdered sugar and maple syrup or can be fancied up with your favorite garnish. To dig into your sweeter side, garnish with mixed berries, lemon curd, powdered sugar and a sprig of mint, or make a meal out of it with a twist on a Caprese salad drizzled with a balsamic reduction.IMG_6494 IMG_6489

Use small skillets to make personalized Dutch babies or one large skillet to make a Dutch baby to share.IMG_6496IMG_6529IMG_6547
