GERMAN PANCAKE (AKA DUTCH BABY) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
• Combine the eggs, granulated sugar, salt, milk, vanilla, flour and melted butter in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
• Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Melt the butter in the skillet. Pour the batter into the heated skillet and then immediately, and carefully, move the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The pancake is done when it is a rich amber color and the sides have risen considerably. Carefully remove the pancake from the skillet and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
• Serve warm with powdered sugar and sliced strawberries.
• Enjoy!

GERMAN BABY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place butter in a 10 inch cast iron skillet and heat the skillet in oven.
• Beat eggs at high speed with an electric mixer. Slowly add the milk and flour.
• Pour batter into hot skillet. Return skillet to oven and bake for 20 minutes. It will rise like a souffle, then fall when taken out of oven. Lightly dust with powdered sugar and serve.

DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• 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.

GERMAN PANCAKE (DUTCH BABY) RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Pour the melted butter into a 9x13 baking pan, rolling it from side to side to make sure all the sides and bottom are covered well with butter.
• In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, and salt. Blend for 1 minute on high.
• Add in half of the flour, blending for another minute. Add the other half of the flour; blend for another minute.
• Pour into the baking pan. Bake for 18 minutes. It will puff up differently and unevenly, depending on each oven.
• Arrange all the toppings on a BIG BOARD, along with the plates and forks.
• Remove the dish from the oven and serve immediately (while hot and puffed up). It's okay if the Dutch Baby falls a bit, as the flavor is still the same.
• Serve the BIG BOARD toppings next to the hot Dutch Baby. Cut into 6 or 8 pieces. We like to add powdered sugar, either jam or maple syrup, and then a squeeze of fresh lemon.

DUTCH BABY (AKA: GERMAN PANCAKE OR PUFF PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F Beat eggs with a wire whip until well aerated. Add milk and whip again. Add salt and flour and stir with a fork, until just blended.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a cast-iron skillet or a 8 x 8 baking dish with at least 2" sides. Run butter all over the pan bottom and up the sides so pancake can climb!
• Bake for 15 minutes. Serve with butter, syrup and powdered sugar. It is also good when sprinkled with a little lemon juice or topped with fruit (blueberries, sliced peaches, sliced apples or mixed berries).
• *Can be doubled and baked in a 9 x 13 pan with 2" sides.

CLASSIC DUTCH BABY

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.

GERMAN PANCAKE (ALSO CALLED DUTCH BABY)

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.
