This Dutch Baby Pancake (German Pancake) is a light fluffy puffed pancake that is sinfully delicious! It is so easy to make and requires the simplest ingredients!
Make this spectacular Dutch Baby Pancake for a special Easter breakfast or brunch. It’s a treat that will surely impress.
The Dutch Baby Pancake is not your usual pancake. It’s pancake with an edge, and it puffs up to unbelievable heights. When it comes out of the oven, mmm, it’s a marvelous sight and a delicious treat! The edge of the pancake rises high, forming into a thin flaky crust that leads into a buttery and warm custard-like center.
So easy to make, you simply throw all the ingredients into a blender, whip it up, pour into a heated buttered skillet and let the oven do the magic!
Sometimes called German Pancake, the Dutch Baby is extremely popular for breakfast and brunch. It is traditionally served with lemon juice and powdered sugar, but I like to spice it up with drizzles of maple syrup or honey.
You can make it into a dessert by serving with banana, blueberries and other fruits. I prefer it with fresh bananas, walnuts and whipped cream drizzled with honey!
It’s fun to eat this food with your hands. Just break it off from the edge and dip into the sweet molten butter central core where the lemon juice rolls off.
Prepare yourself for lip smacking deliciousness! Enjoy!
