What is a Dutch Baby Pancake?

What is a Dutch Baby Pancake? It is a pancake that is baked in the oven. Dutch Babies and German Pancakes are the same thing. This dish originated in Germany. You can find various recipes where it is baked in a cast iron skillet, round cake pans or 9 x 13 rectangular pan (my choice).

In a blender prepare the batter:



Next, add your dry ingredients and blend well on medium speed.



Baking pan:
Melt 4-5 TBS of butter in the microwave and pour into the 9 x 13 baking dish. Spread the butter evenly over the bottom of the dish.
Next, pour the batter into the 9 x 13 pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the sides are golden and it starts to slightly brown on the top.


Remove from oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. You can cut it into squares.


The middle of the pancake may bubble or the sides curl up. That is the beauty of this pancake. The bubbles do collapse.
You can serve Dutch Baby with fresh fruits, powdered sugar, and whipped cream.

This recipe was perfect timing! Made it as soon as it came in my inbox and all 8 of us loved it!! Delicious! A great new recipe for summer mornings when my four great nieces and nephew arrive. Thank you for sharing my recipe, too!
Leslie, I am so glad they liked it. I loved you texting me the photo of your family with the thumbs up. Precious!
Love Dutch Babies and never thought to make one in a rectangular pan. Now I’ll never do it differently. This looks so delicious and makes me wish I didn’t already eat breakfast. Dutch Baby for lunch? Hmmmm …. maybe! xo
They are thicker in a round pan and the sides will curl more. I do it in the 9 x 13 because it’s perfect for a brunch. Especially, when you are serving other foods. A 9 x 9 square pan works great too.
This sounds delicious. I’m going to make these for us soon. I can’t wait.
