History

Dutch pancake, Dutch Baby Pancake, or German pancake is a cross between traditional pancakes and Yorkshire pudding. This pancake has nothing to do with Holland. Moreover, the USA is considered the birthplace of this unusual dish.

The Dutch pancake was the first to be tasted by visitors to the family restaurant Manca’s Cafe in Seattle. Here this dessert began to be served back in the 1940s, and the name was invented by the daughter of the owner, Victor Manke.

Tools you will need

• An oven-safe skillet – use seasoned stainless steel or cast-iron
• Spatula – use it to scrape down the sides of the bowl
• Hot Mitts – use them to transfer the preheated skillet in and out of the oven

What does it taste like?

Some Useful Tips on Making Dutch Baby Pancakes

• The oven and dishes in which you will bake such a pancake must be well preheated. This is important for the pancake to rise well.
• The best pans for such a dish are cast iron pans with cast handles. They heat up well and conduct heat evenly.
• All ingredients must be at room temperature; otherwise, your batter will become lumpy
• Feel free to double or triple the amount of ingredients to make a pancake for more people
• Omit or reduce the sugar in the batter if topping with pancetta, bacon, eggs, fresh herbs, and/or other savory toppings.

Can I Make the Dutch Baby Pancake Dough in Advance?

To save time, some chefs advise preparing batter in the evening and put it in the refrigerator. In the morning, you will have to get it out in advance and warm it up to room temperature. This usually happens while the oven is heating up.

When the pancake is ready, remove the pan from the oven. The pan is hot, don’t forget the oven mitt! Take out the pancake with a thin spatula and place it on a large plate. After you take it out of the oven, it may settle slightly.
