How To Make Sweet Dutch Baby Pancake

This recipe takes 5 minutes to put together. The easiest way is to make the batter in a blender to make certain all the ingredients are properly combined.
You can also combine the ingredients in a bowl and whisk them by hand. For the best result let the batter rest for 20 minutes before baking.
Start by adding the flour to the blender then salt, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Blend for a couple of seconds and scrape the sides of the blender. Then blend the batter again for half a minute so the flour can absorb all the ingredients.
Set the blender aside. Preheat the oven to 450℉/225℃ and put your cast-iron skillet in the oven while it heats.
The skillet should be piping hot. When the oven is hot, take the skillet out. Work fast to not let the skillet cool down too much. Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan.
Then pour all of the pancake batters into the pan.
Replace the skillet in the oven and let the sweet Dutch baby pancake cook in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The Dutch baby will puff up in the oven.
When the pancake is done put blue and raspberries on the Dutch baby and finish it with icing sugar.

Thick Pancake Recipe

Even though this recipe is called Dutch baby it has nothing to do with the Netherlands. It is not a traditional Dutch pancake recipe and it is unknown here in Holland.

This Dutch baby pancake recipe is also known as German pancakes but being Dutch I go for Dutch baby pancake. It is not a small dish and is made in a cast-iron skillet.

Pancake Toppings Options

Dutch baby pancakes do not necessarily have to be sweet but can also be savory. Try these options:

Fruit – In this recipe, I used blueberries and raspberries but you can also use bananas, strawberries, or peaches
Ham – Want a savory version try serrano ham, Parma ham, or Raw ham. Add the ham after the Dutch baby comes out of the oven. Pull the ham apart and divide it on the pancake
Jams – Take a spoon and your favorite jam-like strawberry jam, berry jam, apple jam, or fruits of the forest jam
Sweet topping – add some sugar, coconut sugar, agave syrup, or apple syrup
Eggs – bake an egg and put it on top
Cheese – sprinkle mozzarella, parmesan, or melted brie on the Dutch baby when it comes out of the oven. You can put it in the oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese
Margherita Dutch Baby – bake the Dutch baby as described and halfway through take out the skillet. Add all the ingredients of a Margherita flatbread pizza and your Dutch baby is the best
