Dutch Baby Pancakes are the perfect breakfast canvas for whatever your little heart desires.
Here’s a fall spin on this fun favorite.
Dutch Baby Pancakes
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 4 tablespoons butter
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron pan in the oven to get hot.
Place the eggs, salt, vanilla, milk, and flour in a small food processor or blender. Process for a minute or two.
Place the butter in the hot pan. After the butter melts, pour the batter into the pan.
Close the oven and leave it closed for 20-25 minutes. Your Dutch Baby Pancake will be puffy and beautiful.
For the Apple Dutch Baby Pancake, make this Apple Drizzle Frosting and this Apple Filling.
Fill with whatever you like or simply sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.
Okay, so need to update, since I really wanted to try this idea, and decided to just go for it. I made a half-recipe (for one 9 cast iron pan), and replaced part of the milk with the liquid I managed to squeeze from about a handful of kimchi; I was wondering what the extra acid will do to the batter, but it rose pretty well anyway. After about 8-9 minutes I took it out of the oven and scattered the (chopped) kimchi on top, plus some hard cheese which I also chopped (in retrospect I probably should ve grated it, but the leftover lumps of cheese I had in the fridge and wanted to use were smallish and might not have grated well, and I also didn t want another dirty thing to wash, so just cut them up small; it melted, but didn t get nice and bubbly like I imagined). While I was doing it the lofty sides started sinking, but they had good height to begin with, and when I returned it to the oven for a few minutes they rose a little bit more. So as far as I m concerned, this was a success! Even if you don t want to remove the dutch baby from the oven, I really recommend this flavour combination (I guess the kimchi could be heated before topping the pancake, so that everything s warm, and that would help the cheese melt). Especially the addition of kimchi liquid to the batter, which worked much better than I expected. I think I should do it again sometime.
