I chose this recioe to try and make a Dutch baby for thr first time, it was so simple and delicious but the butter has to be halved or it turns out heavy and greasy.

I’ve been using this recipe on repeat almost every month for the past 5 years! It never fails. I even tried other recipes for Dutch baby’s and version is magic every time!
It’s almost like a pastry - flaky crispy with a creamy custardy base! I’ve even made a savory version by substituting nutmeg for various herbs, salt, pepper and finishing with graded Parmesan cheese instead of powdered sugar!
Bottom line, this one will remain in my kitchen indefinitely.

This recipe is definitely a keeper! This is a very simple recipe that will be added to my Christmas breakfast dishes. I made it this morning and my husband (Who is not especially fond of pancakes) thought it was delicious.

I double this recipe if I'm using a 12-inch skillet. The original one I saw used a 10-inch skillet for the basic single recipe. This is a family favorite and can also be poured over thinly sliced apples. After melting the butter in the pan, I core and peel and cut apples 1/8" thick on a mandolin slicer, then overlap the slices in a circle. Pour in the batter, sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar, and off you go.

Do you then bake it a little longer? I guess you can tell by how it looks when it's done, right?

Been making these for years as well. I've known them as Dutch Babies or German Pancakes. Either way, they're great.

I used to make this all the time when my kids were little. Forgot about it. I got the recipe from a show that Dinah Shore had. She said it was an "old family recipe".

Delicious. I also grew up on this.
Sort of like the sweetened version of the British Yorkshire pudding.

Love this pancake—the way it puffs up without any leavening agent. Also known as Dutch Baby pancake. Works best in a well-seasoned cast iron pan.

I have been making this since I had it at 162 Spring Street Bar & Restaurant on West Broadway (1971, Soho NYC). I serve it as dessert with fresh strawberries and rhubarb whipped cream.

Delish! We used rice milk due to lactose avoidance, and it turned out nice and crisp around the edges, and thin and tender inside. Kind of like a cross between crepes and pancakes. Less "eggy" flavor than another dutch baby recipe I tried simultaneously. Oh, and I forgot the nutmeg, soI just sprinkled on top before it went in the oven. Turned out wonderful.

Good to know it works with rice milk. Wonder if it would do well with almond milk? May try it. Thanks for your comment!

I made it this with Lactose-free 2% milk this time (eg ‘Lactaid’ brand), and it was delicious. My oven wasn’t quite ready when I put it in; it turned out great nonetheless.

My mom made this for us all the time when we were little. It was magical to watch the pancake puff up in the oven and the whole house smelled sweet and lemony. Thanks for bringing those memories back!

This delicious dish has become a weekend tradition at our house. Using a cast iron skillet really took it over the top. I would eat it every day if there were less butter involved, but it's a great treat as it is!

Delicious & SO easy!! Love how it's crusty & soft!!! My problem is this recipe is just too small of a serving for my family!! Only have one ovenproof skillet & I see someone doubled recipe & used a large glass dish. Trying this tomm with leftover soup!!!

I have 6 kiddos and I have the same issue. But, I have mastered a quad recipe in a stainless sell steamer tray, much to my kiddos delight. Also does fine in glass or SS 9x13 pans. Just be sure to err an the side of too little batter when using anything but cast iron.
