Dutch Baby (German Pancakes) VIDEO

A Dutch Baby pancake is a light, airy, oven-baked pancake made with eggs, flour, milk, sugar, and vanilla. The batter is blended smooth, poured into a hot buttered skillet, and baked until puffed and golden brown. This pancake develops crispy edges and a tender center, offering a distinctive texture compared to traditional pan-fried pancakes.

Description

The Dutch Baby recipe requires blending eggs, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt and nutmeg until smooth. The batter is then poured into a preheated oven-safe skillet coated with melted butter that sizzles as it meets the pan. Baking at a high temperature causes the batter to puff dramatically, creating lacy, crisp edges around a soft, custardy center.

The resulting pancake is visually impressive and can be served immediately to maintain its puff and texture. It pairs well with toppings such as fresh fruit, powdered sugar, syrup, or lemon juice for added brightness. The consistent oven heat and butter coating are key to achieving the signature rise and golden color.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 egg at room temperature (put in warm water 5 minutes, large
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk at room temperature (microwaved 15 seconds, whole
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch nutmeg optional
  • 3 Tbsp butter unsalted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425˚F. Place an oven-safe skillet such as cast iron into the oven and let it preheat for at least 8 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in the jar of a blender, combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla, and blend 30 seconds on high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender halfway through to make sure all flour is incorporated.
  3. Carefully remove the pan from the oven using hot mitts. Add 3 Tbsp butter to the hot pan and swirl to coat bottom and sides of the pan. The butter should sizzle.
  4. Add batter to the buttered pan then bake for 16-18 minutes or until pancake is puffed and golden brown at the edges.
  5. Carefully remove the pan from the oven with hot mitts and serve pancake right away.
