Dutch baby

A Dutch baby is a type of pancake that is traditionally made in a cast iron skillet. It is also sometimes called a German pancake, a Bismarck, or a Dutch puff. The pancake is made with a batter that contains eggs, flour, milk, and sugar, and is typically served with butter and syrup.

The dish is of German origin, and was brought to the United States by German immigrants in the 19th century. The first recorded recipe for a Dutch baby pancake appeared in a cookbook published in 1896.

Dutch baby pancakes are believed to have gotten their name from the Dutch ovens that were used to cook them. The ovens were called "Dutch ovens" because they were brought to the United States by Dutch immigrants.

Advice

pancakes

Dutch baby pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any morning. To make the perfect Dutch baby pancake, start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees. Next, melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet and whisk together eggs, milk, and flour in a bowl. Then, add the egg mixture to the skillet with the melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 15 minutes and then top with your favorite toppings. For best results, make sure to use a large skillet and preheat it in the oven before adding the batter. This will ensure that the pancake is evenly cooked and will rise nicely. Lastly, be sure to keep a close eye on the pancake while it bakes and keep the oven door open slightly to ensure it doesn't burn. Enjoy!
