How to make a delicious Dutch Baby Pancake for breakfast or a brunch? You will be surprise how easy it is to make it.
This past Sunday, I held a Mother’s Day Brunch at our home. One of the items that I made was this family favorite Dutch Baby Pancake. I believe my father had 3-4 serving and took some home too.
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).

Notes
Tutorial
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray the 9 x 13 glass dish with Pam Cooking Spray.
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 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.
I love to serve Dutch Baby with fresh fruits, powdered sugar and whipped cream.
Time to enjoy! You will definitely go back for seconds!

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.
