Dutch Baby Pancake

jbspotchex4 months ago013 mins

​

When you do a survey of dutch baby pancake recipes you’ll notice the main players are always eggs, flour, and milk. The goal is to create a one pan showstopper with dramatic rise, the kind you experience with gougères or popovers. Some recipes use a ratio that is heavier on the eggs, others lean on the structure of flour a bit more, but they’re usually in a similar ballpark. You bake a dutch baby hot, which facilitates air expansion, ensuring a reliable, signature rise.

Dutch Baby Technique

The two main considerations here are mixing the batter and oven temperature. Here are my thoughts on both.

  • By hand or by blender: Typically, you can mix dutch baby batter by whisk or by blender. I switched up my technique after reading a Donna Hay approach where she uses a blender to blend the eggs for a good amount of time before incorporating the rest of the ingredients. It works a lot of air into the batter resulting in big rise. Pouring the batter from the blender into a hot pan is convenient as well.
  • Oven temperature: Nearly every dutch baby recipe will have you bake at a temperature between 400°F and 475°F. I like to lean towards the hot end of that spectrum, and use a pre-heated, hot pan to boost as well. This really gets that boost going. The temperature is then dialed back a bit after things get going to finish and set the dutch baby.

Dutch Baby Variations

Once you get the hang of making the basic dutch baby recipe down below, you can experiment with all sorts of tweaks and variations, both sweet and savory! Some ideas:

  • Cinnamon Sugar Dutch Baby: Like cinnamon toast in pancake form, sprinkle your dutch baby with cinnamon sugar immediately as it comes out of the oven. I like to add a few crushed dried rose petals on this one as well.
  • Dutch Baby with Apples: Cut an apple into a 1/4-inch dice. Saute the apples in a couple tablespoons of butter over medium heat for a few minutes, until they soften up a bit. Pour the batter into the hot pan, and quickly get it into the oven. Bonus points for finishing with some cinnamon sugar as well. You can also use this approach with pears.
  • Dutch Baby with Citrus Furikake: Skip the sugar, stir some chopped, deeply caramelized onions into your batter, and finish the dutch baby generously with furikake when it comes out of the oven. This approach is also really great using za’atar – but I put za’atar in the batter and also on top after baking.
  • Dutch Baby with Pesto: Another savory idea. Stir a couple tablespoons of pesto into your dutch baby batter and skip the sugar. Serve topped with a dusting of freshly grated Parmesan and tangle of arugula.
  • Gingerbread Dutch Baby: One last idea! Make yourself a gingerbread spice blend by combining 4 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional), 1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper. Use this to season your batter before baking, then add more along with some sugar, after baking. Smells so good!

Dutch Baby Pancake

If you remember to start with room-temperature ingredients here, great! But, if not, don’t let that slow you down. Also, you can mix the batter with a whisk instead of a blender but I find the blender makes quick work of the process and gets a good amount of air into the batter.

Ingredients

  • 5
    eggs
  • 1 1/3
    cups
    / 165g unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2
    tablespoons
    sugar (optional)
  • 1 1/4
    cup
    / 300 ml milk
  • 1/2
    teaspoon
    fine grain sea salt
  • 2
    tablespoons
    butter
  • 3
    tablespoons
    powdered sugar
  • lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F with a rack in the center.

  2. Use a blender to blend eggs for 1 minute, until pale and frothy. Add the flour, sugar, milk, and salt, and blend for another 30 seconds.

  3. Place the butter in a 12-inch oven-proof skillet. Heat in the oven for 3-5 minutes, just until the butter starts to brown and become fragrant. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and pour batter into the hot pan.

  4. Bake for 10 minutes and then dial back the heat to 400°F. Bake for another 10 minutes or so, until the pancake has puffed completely and become beautifully golden.

  5. Remove from oven, dust generously with powdered sugar with a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately.
