What is a Dutch Baby Pancake?
Dutch babies are sometimes referred to as a puff pancakes or a German pancakes. They’re essentially a fluffy pancake that’s a cross between a pancake, a popover and a crepe.
And while this giant pancake may look super impressive, it’s incredibly easy to make with a handful of basic ingredients! Just combine everything together in a blender or the bowl of a food processor, then pour it into a hot cast iron pan and let it cook away in the oven.
I served my version up with some tangy lemon sugar and fresh strawberries. However, you can also serve it up with maple syrup, or a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar.
