German Pancake Recipe Aka Dutch Baby For Pancake Day Food

GERMAN PANCAKE RECIPE (AKA DUTCH BABY) FOR PANCAKE DAY!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F / 230C.
• In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs.
• Add in the milk and beat well.
• Slowly, add in the salt and the flour, while whisking steadily.
• Mix in the melted butter. It is okay if there are a few small lumps in the batter.
• Using a paper towel, lightly spread the remains of the melted butter around the pan to coat it.
• Pour the batter into the skillet, and bake for 15 minutes at 450F/ 230C. Reduce the heat to 350F / 175C and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
• Serve immediately. Top with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

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.

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.

DUTCH BABY PANCAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425* F.
• Either melt butter in an oven-proof skillet and remove from heat OR melt it in a regular saucepan and pour into a prepared (liberally buttered) pie pan.
• In a blender, combine the eggs and milk and whirl until foamy and pale.
• Add to the blender the vanilla, flour, sugar and salt.
• Whirl until fully blended.
• Pour batter into the melted butter--it will look like a dish of white soup with slicks of oil on top (not appetizing at all, I know).
• Bake in the oven about 18 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
• Slice when the "puff" has deflated and serve with jam or sugar.
