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.

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

  • Peel, core, and slice the apple 1/8 inch thick. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a 9-inch ovenproof crêpe pan or skillet over medium to medium-high heat. 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.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and the edges start to get crispy and browned. Dust lightly with sifted confectioners' sugar, cut in wedges, and serve hot with maple syrup.

DUTCH BABY

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.

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:

  • Make sure your oven is preheated properly before pouring in the batter; this will help ensure the pancake rises evenly.
  • Use a blender or food processor to make the batter smooth and lump-free; this will also help the pancake rise evenly.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the pancake tough.
  • If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet; just make sure it's oven-safe.
  • Serve the Dutch baby immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

The vanilla Dutch baby is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its light and fluffy texture and slightly sweet flavor, the Dutch baby is a perfect way to start your day. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give the vanilla Dutch baby a try; you won't be disappointed.
