Need breakfast stat? Or brunch, lunch, dinner, or even dessert? These minis are your new go-to!

If you’ve never had any version of these, Dutch Babies and/or German pancakes are like a glorious cross between pancakes, crepes, and popovers.

A very thin batter turns magically delicious in the oven!

When I was a kid, Dutch Baby Pancakes were a holiday morning breakfast tradition. My mom would whip out her large pizza pans and bake up two of these to much fanfare. We loved these, loved ‘em.

Nowadays, breakfast is a big deal in our house. Prep to table in under a half hour, served with sautéed apples ( a quick and easy recipe is found in the blog post), this is on steady rotation here!

Maple syrup, powdered sugar, berries fresh or saucy, savory if you wish; you’re only limited by your imagination on ways to serve these.

Instructions

Place a 12 well, metal muffin tin in the oven and begin preheating it to 425° F (218° C). If there are any racks above the middle one, be sure to move them.
Add the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt, all except the butter, to a food processor bowl or into a blender. Process or blend on high speed for about 1 minute.
Turn off the machine and leave the batter to rest for 10 minutes. The batter will be very thin.
When the oven has heated to temperature, slice the butter into 12 equal pieces and drop 1 piece into each well. It may not melt fully.
Give a quick pulse or two to the batter then pour about 1/3 cup into each well or divide evenly between the 12. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the pancakes are golden brown on the edges and are quite puffy.
Serve immediately.

  I make oven babies often. When first pulled out of the oven they are at their puffiest and hot. You can wait, but they will deflate even if kept hot. They are still delicious, though, so don’t hesitate to eat more. I would suggest not putting any berries, etc, on your second helping, until you are ready to eat it as juice can make them soggy.

  They're better hot, and they might fall if you let them get too cool.

  They’re best when fresh and hot out of the oven but can be reheated. Hope you enjoy!
