Dutch babies are a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Often compared to a pancake or a popover, these oven-baked treats are characterized by their tall, puffy sides and tender, custardy centers. The batter is typically made with flour, eggs, milk, and seasonings, and can be customized with various mix-ins such as fruit, spices, or cheese. Whether you prefer a classic version or one with creative toppings, this article will guide you through the process of creating the perfect Dutch baby for any occasion.

Here are our top 16 tried and tested recipes!

DUTCH BABY



Dutch Baby image

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.

CHEF JOHN'S DUTCH BABIES



Chef John's Dutch Babies image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large Granny Smith apple
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup whole milk
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Confectioners' sugar
Pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Add the apple, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, and the cinnamon and toss well. Sauté the apple for 5 to 7 minutes until tender, tossing occasionally. Spread the apple out in the pan and keep hot over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the microwave. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the flour, the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar, and the salt. Whisk the flour mixture into the milk mixture, whisking until there are no lumps. Pour the batter over the cooked apple in the hot pan and immediately place in the oven.

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.

4 to 6 slices bacon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (68 grams)
3 tablespoons cornmeal (25 grams)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving

1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup extra-old Cheddar, grated, optional
Hot sauce

Steps:

  • For the Dutch baby: Cut the bacon slices in half and place into a cold 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place into a cold oven. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. When the oven comes up to temp, set a timer for 10 minutes.

VANILLA DUTCH BABY (PUFFED PANCAKE)



Vanilla Dutch Baby (Puffed Pancake) image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
3 eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk, heated 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Pinch salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the butter in a large, ovenproof, nonstick saute pan and place in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the eggs, flour, warm milk, sugar, vanilla extract and pinch of salt, and blend on medium-high speed until uniform. (If mixing by hand, combine the eggs with the milk until the mixture is light yellow and no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously to remove the lumps, about 30 seconds.)
  • Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. The butter should be melted. Swirl the butter around the pan to coat completely, and then pour the remaining butter into the batter and pulse to blend. Pour the batter into the hot pan and return the pan to the oven. Cook until the pancake is puffed in the center and golden brown along the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom and rendering the pancake soggy. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cooled slightly. Slice the pancake into 8 wedges on a serving platter or cutting board.

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!

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.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Pancake Recipes

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:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats are essential for making nutritious and flavorful purees. Look for produce that is in season and free of blemishes, and choose lean meats that are low in saturated fat.
  • Cook foods thoroughly: Cooking foods properly is essential for preventing foodborne illness. Be sure to cook meats to a safe internal temperature and cook vegetables until they are tender.
  • Puree foods to a smooth consistency: Purees should be smooth enough for babies to swallow easily. You can use a blender, food processor, or immersion blender to puree foods.
  • Add breast milk or formula: Breast milk or formula can be added to purees to make them more nutritious and filling. You can also add water or broth to thin the puree to the desired consistency.
  • Season purees with herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add flavor to purees without adding salt or sugar. Try adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs like basil or oregano.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious and nutritious purees for your baby. By following these tips, you can ensure that your baby is getting the nutrients they need to grow and thrive.
