Originally published May 2011.
Wikipedia says, “A Dutch baby pancake (or Dutch baby), sometimes called a German pancake, a Bismarck, a Dutch puff, or a Hootenanny…may have been derived from the German Pfannkuchen.”
Others will liken it to Yorkshire pudding or as Americans sometimes call Popovers. Indeed one of our family’s favourite weekend brunch treats is Popovers with Homemade Jam.
There’s certainly is a common thread that goes through them all. They are all made with very common kitchen ingredients almost always readily at hand.
A Dutch Baby is a simple baked pancake that puffs up in the oven and is traditionally served with icing sugar and a squeeze of lemon. It is super easy to prepare and a nice light weekend brunch served with only some fresh fruit.
I’ve used strawberries here but any fresh fruit is delicious with Dutch Babies.
This is a great recipe to make with the kids, especially the little ones.
The batter can be made in a blender which they’ll love pressing the buttons on and off. Then, they get to watch the pancake puff up in the oven. That’ll keep ’em busy for 15 minutes at least. 😉
A nice light brunch idea.
I’ve posted this as a single serving recipe which makes one 8 inch Dutch Baby. Multiply as needed.
