We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. A Dutch baby pancake has the soft, tender texture of a delicate crĂȘpe and the eggy flavor of a sweet popover . It’s created by pouring a thin batter into a preheated skillet and baking it in a hot oven, where the batter will immediately start to puff around the edges. As it bakes, the batter rises higher and higher until it looks more like a poofy pillow than a pancake. Once the edges turn golden and you can’t resist the sweet aroma of baked goods any longer, it’s ready. It feels like a party trick, but for the breakfast crowd. I break them out whenever anyone in my house needs a little extra delight in their day. Out of the oven, the Dutch baby will quickly collapse back into the pan — the steam holding it up quickly evaporates in the cooler air of your kitchen. But this is all part of the fun. Slice it into wedges and smear with jam and maple syrup as you serve it up. Credit: Photo: Ryan Liebe; Food Styling: Rachel Perlmutter Ingredients in a Dutch Baby Pancake Flour: Nothing fancy here, all-purpose does the job just fine. Eggs: If you can remember to, let the eggs come to room temperature while you’re heating the oven. Milk: Skip the skim milk — 2% or whole work best. Sugar: You’ll need two tablespoons of granulated sugar. Vanilla: Just a splash of pure vanilla extract makes all the difference. Butter: Swirl around the hot skillet as need to make sure it’s entirely coated. 3 Tips for Better Dutch Baby Pancakes I’ve picked up a few Dutch baby tricks over the years and have gradually brought them together into a single recipe: Use a blender or food processor to make a very smooth batter with no lumps. Rest the batter to give the flour a chance to absorb the liquid, which gives the pancake a better texture and less flour-y flavor. Use a hot skillet to help the pancake puff. You’ll get some crunchy, caramelized edges this way. Be sure to use a 9- or 10-inch skillet for making this pancake . The smaller size increases the puff while helping the pancake keep its shape. The pan doesn’t have to be cast iron ; you can use any oven-safe pan or baking dish of a similar size. I’ve even done them in a pie dish ! I usually carry the pan to the table, dust it with powdered sugar , and serve it right there. Put a bunch of different toppings on the table and let everyone choose for themselves: Nutella , jams and preserves, lemon curd , peanut butter , maple syrup , fresh fruit, and any other little jars you’d like to use up from the fridge. Served on its own, this Dutch baby makes a good size for two adults to split. If you’re serving it alongside a full breakfast spread of eggs , toast, and potatoes, slice it into more wedges. You can also double or triple the amount of batter and make a few Dutch babies in the oven at once. Any leftovers make a fantastic snack later in the day. This impressive brunch dish has the soft, tender texture of a hot crepe and the eggy flavor of a sweet popover. Ingredients 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole or 2% milk 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Powdered sugar, maple syrup, and jam, for serving Equipment Blender or food processor Spatula 9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet Blend the batter: Place the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a blender or food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Blend for 10 seconds, scrape down the sides, and then blend for another 10 seconds. The batter will be quite loose and liquidy. Rest the batter: Leave the batter in the blender and set aside to rest 20 to 25 minutes. This gives the flour time to absorb the liquid. Heat the pan and oven: Meanwhile, place a 9 to 10-inch ovensafe skillet on the middle rack of the oven and remove any racks above it. Heat the oven to 425°F. Melt the butter: When ready to make the pancake, remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts and place it on top of the stove. Add the butter and swirl the pan to melt the butter and coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Add the batter: Pour the batter on top of the butter. Tilt the pan if needed so that the batter runs evenly to all sides. Place the skillet in the oven. Bake the Dutch baby: Bake until the Dutch baby is puffed, lightly browned across the top, and darker brown on the sides and edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve while hot: You can either serve from the pan or transfer the Dutch baby to a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup or jam. Recipe Notes Fruit-filled Dutch baby : Arrange fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or sliced peaches over the bottom of the skillet and then pour the batter over top. (Scattering fruit on top of the batter will keep it from rising as impressively.) Filed in: More to Love from The Kitchn Italian Bread The ultimate WFH sandwich upgrade. Tara Holland Nov 17, 2021 This Homemade Eggnog Is So Much Better Than Any Carton Oh, eggnog — you devilish seasonal treat, you. We love you in our morning lattes and we love you spiked with bourbon before going to bed. You make the most delicious French toast ever, and even our favorite cake is sending you love notes. Is there anything you can’t do? Truly? This holiday season, I say let’s skip the store-bought cartons and additive-laden jugs, and have our eggnog the old-fashioned way: with real eggs.

A Dutch baby pancake has the soft, tender texture of a [delicate crĂȘpe](https://www.thekitchn.com/make-crepes-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-195381) and the eggy flavor of a [sweet popover](https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-popovers-171064). It’s created by pouring a thin batter into a preheated skillet and baking it in a hot oven, where the batter will immediately start to puff around the edges. As it bakes, the batter rises higher and higher until it looks more like a poofy pillow than a pancake. Once the edges turn golden and you can’t resist the sweet aroma of baked goods any longer, it’s ready. It feels like a party trick, but for the breakfast crowd. I break them out whenever anyone in my house needs a little extra delight in their day. Out of the oven, the Dutch baby will quickly collapse back into the pan — the steam holding it up quickly evaporates in the cooler air of your kitchen. But this is all part of the fun. Slice it into wedges and smear with [jam](https://www.thekitchn.com/5-ways-to-thicken-homemade-jam-234749) and [maple syrup](https://www.thekitchn.com/5-maple-syrup-twists-to-take-your-pancakes-on-a-breakfast-adventure-229643) as you serve it up. ![dutch baby with sugar and berries](https://cdn.apartmenttherapy.info/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:eco,c_fit,w_730,h_913/k%2FPhoto%2FRecipes%2F2023-12-dutch-baby%2Fdutch-baby-0379) Credit: Photo: Ryan Liebe; Food Styling: Rachel Perlmutter Ingredients in a Dutch Baby Pancake - **Flour:** Nothing fancy here, all-purpose does the job just fine. - **Eggs:** If you can remember to, let the eggs come to room temperature while you’re heating the oven. - **Milk:** Skip the skim milk — 2% or whole work best. - **Sugar:** You’ll need two tablespoons of granulated sugar. - **Vanilla:** Just a splash of pure vanilla extract makes all the difference. - **Butter:** Swirl around the hot skillet as need to make sure it’s entirely coated. 3 Tips for Better Dutch Baby Pancakes I’ve picked up a few Dutch baby tricks over the years and have gradually brought them together into a single recipe: 1. Use a [blender](https://www.thekitchn.com/best-blenders-265180) or [food processor](https://www.thekitchn.com/features/essential-tools) to make a very smooth batter with no lumps. 2. Rest the batter to give the [flour](https://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-difference-between-bleached-and-unbleached-flour-223858) a chance to absorb the liquid, which gives the pancake a better texture and less flour-y flavor. 3. Use a hot skillet to help the pancake puff. You’ll get some crunchy, caramelized edges this way. **Be sure to use a [9- or 10-inch skillet](https://www.amazon.com/Lodge-L6SK3-Pre-Seasoned-9-Inch-Skillet/dp/B00063RWTS?asc_campaign=KT-227629&asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thekitchn.com%2Fhow-to-make-a-dutch-baby-pancake-227629&asc_source=&tag=kitchn-20) for making this pancake**. The smaller size increases the puff while helping the pancake keep its shape. The pan doesn’t have to be [cast iron](https://www.thekitchn.com/best-nonstick-skillets-23177650); you can use any oven-safe pan or baking dish of a similar size. I’ve even done them in a [pie dish](https://www.thekitchn.com/best-pie-plate-23003944)\! I usually carry the pan to the table, dust it with [powdered sugar](https://www.thekitchn.com/powdered-sugar-substitutes-23296604), and serve it right there. Put a bunch of different toppings on the table and let everyone choose for themselves: [Nutella](https://www.thekitchn.com/nutella-recipe-23207885), jams and preserves, [lemon curd](https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-easy-homemade-lemon-curd-184541), [peanut butter](https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-homemade-peanut-butter-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-199110), [maple syrup](https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-choose-maple-syrup-and-get-the-most-out-of-it-maker-tour-202163), fresh fruit, and any other little jars you’d like to use up from the fridge. Served on its own, this Dutch baby makes a good size for two adults to split. If you’re serving it alongside a full breakfast spread of [eggs](https://www.thekitchn.com/over-easy-eggs-22977807), toast, and [potatoes,](https://www.thekitchn.com/fried-potatoes-recipe-23085178) slice it into more wedges. You can also double or triple the amount of batter and make a few Dutch babies in the oven at once. Any leftovers make a fantastic snack later in the day. This impressive brunch dish has the soft, tender texture of a hot crepe and the eggy flavor of a sweet popover. ### Ingredients - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup whole or 2% milk - 2 large eggs - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter - Powdered sugar, maple syrup, and jam, for serving #### Equipment - Blender or food processor - Spatula - 9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet 1. **Blend the batter:** Place the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a blender or food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Blend for 10 seconds, scrape down the sides, and then blend for another 10 seconds. The batter will be quite loose and liquidy. 2. **Rest the batter:** Leave the batter in the blender and set aside to rest 20 to 25 minutes. This gives the flour time to absorb the liquid. 3. **Heat the pan and oven:** Meanwhile, place a 9 to 10-inch ovensafe skillet on the middle rack of the oven and remove any racks above it. Heat the oven to 425°F. 4. **Melt the butter:** When ready to make the pancake, remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts and place it on top of the stove. Add the butter and swirl the pan to melt the butter and coat the bottom and sides of the pan. 5. **Add the batter:** Pour the batter on top of the butter. Tilt the pan if needed so that the batter runs evenly to all sides. Place the skillet in the oven. 6. **Bake the Dutch baby:** Bake until the Dutch baby is puffed, lightly browned across the top, and darker brown on the sides and edges, 15 to 20 minutes. 7. **Serve while hot:** You can either serve from the pan or transfer the Dutch baby to a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup or jam. ### Recipe Notes **Fruit-filled Dutch baby**: Arrange fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or sliced peaches over the bottom of the skillet and then pour the batter over top. (Scattering fruit on top of the batter will keep it from rising as impressively.)
