Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
½ cup milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Confectioners' sugar, for serving (optional)
Fresh berries, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Put a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe nonstick pan into the oven and heat for at least 5 minutes.
  • In a blender, combine the eggs, flour, milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, the salt, and vanilla. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender jar as necessary, about 30 seconds.
  • Open the oven door and drop the butter into the preheated skillet. Close the oven and allow the butter to melt, about 2 minutes (do not let it burn). Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it's hot. Pour the batter into the buttered skillet and carefully place the skillet back into the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, until puffed and golden. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (again, place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it's hot). Dust with confectioners' sugar and top with berries, if desired, then cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup.

CHEF JOHN'S DUTCH BABIES

I've always been fascinated by how many different breakfast foods you can create using just milk, eggs, and flour; and this is one of the more interesting examples. Especially considering the unusual, and borderline disturbing name. Sometimes called German pancakes, these have very little to do with Germany, and nothing to do with the Dutch. Apparently they were invented by German immigrants who were referred to as Dutch.

A simple and tasty breakfast/brunch treat. This is an adopted recipe from the RecipeZaar account, and I am delighted to be the new owner of such a winning recipe. If you would like the inside of the finished dish to be a little less "egg-y" then cut the number of eggs down to 3, and many many reviewers also found that just 3 Tablespoons of butter worked better for them. Either way they did it, they all agreed that the taste was great. Enjoy!

I've had these a lot at B&B's, probably because they're delicious and dependable if the right technique is used. This dish is puffy around the outside and flat in the center offering the perfect nest for sliced fresh fruit. It's airy, light and makes a beautiful presentation. The batter can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated.

CLASSIC DUTCH BABY



Classic Dutch Baby image

The next time your crew craves pancakes, serve something new and exciting: a Dutch baby. This baked pancake requires whirring a few basic ingredients in a blender, pouring the batter into a piping-hot skillet, and baking for 20 minutes (no need to flip). After it poofs up into a show-worthy display, serve with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and warm maple syrup.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
Greek yogurt or skyr, fresh fruit, and warm maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F, with a medium cast-iron skillet (10 inches, measured across top) inside on the center rack. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Purée eggs in a blender until pale and frothy, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture, milk, and vanilla. Purée until smooth, about 30 seconds (the batter will be thin). Add butter to skillet in oven. When it melts and sizzles, pull out the rack and quickly pour batter into center of skillet.
  • Bake until pancake is puffed, golden brown in places, and crisp along the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve immediately with yogurt, fruit, and syrup.

Tips for Making Dutch Babies:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the Dutch baby cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated to 425°F (220°C) before you start cooking. This will help the Dutch baby rise properly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the Dutch baby tough.
  • Pour the batter into the skillet immediately after mixing. This will help prevent the batter from settling.
  • Bake the Dutch baby for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and puffed up.
  • Serve the Dutch baby immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Dutch babies are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a crowd, and they can be customized to your liking with a variety of toppings. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give Dutch babies a try!
