The dutch baby pancake is guaranteed to wow guests on any occasion. It's so elegant, you think it would be difficult to make, but it's as easy as whisk, pour, and bake. The batter puffs up into a golden, light and fluffy pancake that compliments any breakfast toppings, sweet or savory. Trust me, when you make this recipe, you'll be all “where have you been all my life?!” Your other half will probably say the same 😂

What toppings go on a dutch baby?

For this recipe, I used the following:

  • fresh fruit - peaches, strawberries, blueberries, and mulberries
  • powdered sugar
  • maple syrup
dutch baby toppings: wooden bowl of fresh fruit next to white container of maple syrup next to sifter of powdered sugar on blue linen

Do I need a blender for a dutch baby?

Actually, no. A blender is certainly a convenient way to blend the batter and remove lumps, but it's not required. You can conquer the task with a whisk and some old fashioned elbow grease.

RECIPE NOTES

Dutch Baby NOTES:
Oven temperature - you can bake the Dutch baby anywhere from 375° and 425°. It really depends on 1) how brown you like your pancake and 2) the accuracy of your oven temperature. I prefer to bake mine at 400° for about 10 minutes for a light, golden brown surface. But feel free to experiment.
Dutch baby toppings - I used peaches, strawberries, blueberries, mulberries, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. Please note, nutrition data does not include topping information.

    In the UK your pancake is known as a Yorkshire pudding , Omit the vanilla
    and serve as a savoury with roasted meat usually a Roast Beef joint, roast potatoes a selection of steamed veg and lots of gravy made from the juices of the meat, very popular for a Sunday lunch
