The BEST Dutch baby pancake recipe you’ll find! It’s a simple recipe made with just a few ingredients. Put in a hot oven and watch it rise!
Dutch Pancake
When I posted this dutch baby pancake, it was like it went viral! I mean so many asked me for the recipe. So, here you go. The dutch baby pancake recipe!
This recipe is uber simple. And, if you Google recipes for dutch babies, you’ll find they’re all pretty much the same. But, I’m telling you this is the BEST Dutch baby pancake recipe.
Now this dutch baby pancake was made at high altitude, and I kind of thought that elevation helped make this pancake rise. However, I remade it in another skillet, this time a cast iron skillet, about 10″ diameter, and it didn’t rise as high. While I’m no food scientist, I’m thinking the smaller skillet (about 8″ diameter and enamelware) that you see here in the pictures may have contributed to the rise. I mean the dutch baby had no place to go but UP!
When I returned to sea level, I made the Dutch pancake recipe again, and, it didn’t disappoint. Didn’t rise as high as it did in the Rockies, but still a winner.
Breakfast Pancake Ideas
Pancakes! Or maybe you’re talking variations thereof–waffles, flapjacks, hot cake, griddle cake. I mean who doesn’t get excited to eat cake for breakfast. And, I’m talking hot cakes with warm syrup. This Dutch Baby Pancake is simply a twist on great breakfast pancake ideas.
Dutch Baby Pancake
According to Wikipedia, yes, the ultimate quick source to finding information, says this about dutch baby pancakes:
While these pancakes are derived from the German pancake dish, it is said that the name Dutch baby was coined by one of Victor Manca’s daughters, where “Dutch” perhaps was her corruption of the German autonym deutsch. Manca’s Cafe claimed that it owned the trademark for Dutch babies in 1942.
My plans are to make dutch babies, as in plural. I’m going to use a very large, Barney Rubble style, muffin tin and make individual babies. Honestly, I don’t think there’s any way one person could eat the skillet size dutch baby. However, my 4 and 6 year-old grandsons literally ate all but one small slice of this dutch baby that you see!
Dutch Babies
Regardless of what you call these glorious cakes that are eaten for breakfast, Dutch babies are on the short list for my grandkids. You can make them large in a single pan. Or you can use something like smaller skillets or ramekins and bake individual dutch babies. I guarantee with this easy recipe you’ll have them begging for more!

Love this recipe! I’ve made it several times with great success! The latest batch I tried using King Arthur’s 1:1 ratio GF flour. Unfortunately, it didn’t produce its iconic puff, but we still enjoyed the flavors of the original recipe. Thanks for sharing your recipe ❤️
Reply
Oh, drats, next time you try it add some baking powder to the GF flour. It just might give it a boost for rising! Of course, it’s like crash and burn once you take it out, but, hey, the thrill of the rise, then that deeelish flavor!! xoxx ally

Great job! I bake st 400 for 15 minutes and then turn down to 300 for a couple of minutes longer. That seems to work best with my oven.
FYI, I did have a major fail once when my flour was too old. I don’t bake very regularly so my canister of flour had gotten old once I replace the flower and made it again. Everything was perfect. I just use salted butter and that takes care of adding the extra salt next time I’ll try adding vanilla. We love it with Meyer, lemons and powdered sugar.Reply
EH! What great feedback! Thank you. Yes, it’s crazy how ‘old’ anything can compromise the integrity of the recipe. And, that flour does ‘go bad’! The girls loved watching that Dutch Baby Pancake rise, then when we took it out, fall! LOL! The kitchen and cooking are the best for teaching science, too. Love the Meyer lemons and powdered sugar! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! xoxx ally

I think Vanilla is missing from instructions 🙂

CAN I MAKE THESE AHEAD TO SERVE AT CHRISTMAS BRUNCH. I WAS THINKING ABOUT MAKING INDIVIDUAL ONES IN CUPCAKE PANS.

I’ve never done it. But I think it might work with small cupcake size. Why don’t you do a trial run. And, if you do, please let me know!!🥰🥰

I have made this many times…very good recipe. When it is brown, I turn off oven and leave in oven about 5 minutes. It holds its shape and doesn’t go flat. I serve with apples which have been cooked with brown sugar, and butter. Or fresh peaches sprinkled with sugar. Many options… use your imagination.

OH, goodness, Billie! My mouth is watering just reading your comment! Thank you thank you!! We love these Dutch Babies, too! I’m going to try using this same batter for a fruit casserole. Fruit/butter in dish, then top with the batter. Not sure what I’ll get, but check back. Yes, we need to use our imaginations! xoxx ally

I made it about a 1/3 larger as my cast iron skillet is VERY large. It came out perfect. We topped it with lemon curd, berries and warm maple syrup. It was wonderful. I did swap cinnamon for the nutmeg as I’m not a nutmeg fan. This is a keeper recipe 😋
Reply
Melanie!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I wish there was a pix for me to see! Isn’t it just so much fun to watch your ‘Dutch Baby’ birth! ha ha! Love the curd, berries and warm maple syrup! Yes, it’s a keeper recipe in our home, too, luv! Thanks so much for letting me know. Means a lot xoxx ally

Ally, this is very similar to the popovers….by Fanny Farmer.
Looks so good.Reply
YES! It is, Maya! I do think I could use the same recipe in my popover pan. The kids so love these Dutch babies! xoxx
Reply
Ally, I LOVE this! I’ve never heard of a Dutch Baby before, but it’s so intriguing. I’m planning on making it – can’t wait! xoxo
Reply
Shea! You’ll slay this Dutch Baby! Add a little more sugar if you want it sweeter. Of course. Syrup does that. Once you remove from oven, it will kinda “deflate”. My grandkids L9VED ot!!xox ally
Reply
This is a basic popover recipe baked in one big pan. If you are making individual babies, you are making popovers. This is best as they don’t deflate. Yummmmmmy
Reply
Hi, Linda! Ya know, I never thought of it that way! Thank you! I’m gonna now try this Dutch Baby recipe in my popover pan. Thank you, luv! Hope to see you real soon back here! xoxx ally

That’s a beautiful dutch baby and I’d love it with a drizzle of warm honey!

How do you eat your banana bread! I`m drizzling a lot of Manuka honey on mine. That`s because this recipe, COMING SOON, has NO added sugar. None. Nada. Zip. Zero! It`s dense. Moist. Made with whole milk Greek yogurt, flour, baking powder, salt, bananas🍌 and walnuts. LOTS of walnuts! Baked in a small Dutch oven, it`s off the charts good. Four make taste testers today, ranging in age from about 20 to 80, gave two thumbs 👍 up! The more bananas 🍌 I see in the COMMENTS the faster I know I need to work to get this recipe posted! Let the bananas 🍌 fly!!

Homes are defined by the owners` personalities. And, we love to preserve and incorporate history in ours. Much of it comes from our many travels over the decades. This wood on the wall and the door are from a chapel that was being razed in Europe. Some of it now is here, and we are the stewards of its safekeeping. The door is a masterpiece of hundreds of years ago of craftsmanship. And, yes, quite a conversation piece. Combined with new and shiny makes for intriguing design! Carved and whittled, I can only imagine the thousands of worshippers who touched it. From the intricate carvings to the lock, hinges and and rusty bolts, oh, if it could talk. I know a lot of younger folks want "new" shiny things for their homes, and that`s fine. However, look no further than your family`s legacy, attic, garage, and shed for artifacts that preserve history.

My therapy session is every morning that weather permits. Coffee in hand. No co-pay required. No appointment is needed. It`s all free. Mother Nature has huge healing and medicinal advantages for your mind, mood, heart, spirit, and soul. Honestly, just get out if you can. And, notice. Notice the small things. The flutter of the leaves. The bee busily at work. The gentle breeze. And, don`t overlook the audio therapy. The sounds of nature. Even the quiet. Pay attention to your attention. Be mindful. Be in the moment. Believe it or not, it does something to your brain`s chemicals. Good things. 💥💥💥What`s your morning routine that soothes your soul? 💥💥💥 Ok, I`ll admit when I was raising kids, working FT as Dr. Alice (yes, I was an educational psychologist), juggling and spinning so many life plates, trying to get by and sucking "life fumes", this wasn`t usually on my weekly radar screen. But I did try to catch snippets of it. Life does have many perks as we age. Something to look forward to once your kids are raised and you can recapture yourself.
(Now those are trendy terms!)
