Dutch Baby (Aka: German Pancake or Puff Pancake) image

My sister Daralyn introduced this recipe to our family soon after she was married. Her recipe evolved from a favorite breakfast, to our families standard birthday breakfast. When served for a birthday we add candles and a round of "Happy Birthday" but it tastes just as good without those to amenities!

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces fresh raspberries
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
3 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • For the coulis: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the raspberries, sugar, orange juice and vanilla. Cook, stirring frequently, until the raspberries are completely broken down and the sauce is syrupy, 10 minutes. Strain, a little at a time, through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, stirring to separate the seeds. Stir the orange zest in the strained sauce. Serve warm or set aside to cool. (The coulis can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.)
  • For the Dutch baby: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat for 10 minutes.
  • Put the eggs in a large bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy. Whisk in the milk and then add the flour, vanilla and salt, and whisk until combined. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the butter, swirling until it is melted and coats the pan. Pour in the batter and immediately return the skillet to the oven. Bake until the pancake is puffed and golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
  • Serve the Dutch baby with the raspberry coulis.

GERMAN PANCAKE (ALSO CALLED DUTCH BABY)



German Pancake (Also Called Dutch Baby) image

The German pancake, also called Dutch Baby, is like a crepe crossed with a popover. It's ridiculously easy to make (the batter is made in under 2 minutes in a blender) and is always a crowd pleaser. Watching the pancake puff up before your very eyes is always entertaining. You can add fresh fruit to the batter, add it on top after baking ,or go crazy and do both! Then you have the option of topping it with the more traditional squeeze of fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar or simply drizzle on the maple syrup, for the syrup lovers.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 23m

Yield 1 pancake, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter
1 apricot, sliced (optional)
1/3 cup raspberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and put a cast iron skillet (if using) into the oven to heat up.
  • After about 15 - 20 minutes (or longer if your oven is slow), the skillet should be hot. Add the butter to the skillet and return it to the oven. If you're using a cake pan, add the butter to the cake pan and put it into the oven.
  • Add 3 eggs and the sugar to blender and blend on low speed for 1 minute. The eggs should be light colored and bubbly. Then add the flour and milk and blend for 10 seconds, until evenly mixed.
  • Take the skillet or cake pan out of the oven and make sure the butter has completely melted, with a baster spread the butter over the entire surface of the pan. Pour the batter into the hot skillet or pan and scatter the fruit on top of the batter if using.
  • Bake at 425 degrees F for 18 - 22 minutes, or until the sides and middle have puffed up and browned.
  • Serve with fresh fruit and a lemon slice and powdered sugar or maple syrup.

PEACH DUTCH BABY PANCAKE WITH CHERRY COMPOTE

Provided by Raquel Grinnell

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 1 pancake, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (one half stick)
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, and nutmeg in a bowl. Beat lightly. Leave the batter a little lumpy as overbeating will make the pancake tough.
  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast iron or other ovenproof skillet with a heatproof handle. When it is very hot and slightly browned, pour in the batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pancake is golden brown.
  • 4. Sprinkle with the sugar and return briefly to the oven. Sprinkle with lemon juice, and serve. My kids like the sugar and lemon juice stirred together like a kind of glaze drizzled onto the pancake, which is how I remember having crepes from the crepe stands in Paris -- Additionally can be served with jelly, jam, or marmalade.
