Dutch Baby Pancake

Dutch Baby is often referred to as Dutch baby pancake, Dutch puff, German pancake or puff pancake. This is an exciting and satisfying version of the usual pancake with the main difference being this pancake is cooked in the oven instead of on the hob. Believe me, these puffed-up pancakes are just as irresistible as the usual pancakes! They’re extremely easy to make and easily customizable to your needs. This dessert has a soft middle with crispy tall edges. A rightful favourite for many for breakfast or dessert later in the day. This Dutch Baby is gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free too! Yay!😊

YOU’LL NEED

The main ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe: 

Flour: as always, I used gluten free flour.

Eggs: they provide structure; medium sized eggs are fine here.

Sweetener: powdered sweetener works fine in this recipe.

Milk: I used plant milk but any milk works fine.

Butter: you’ll need butter for the greasing, oil is fine too.

TIPS

 Here are some tips you might find useful:

*For the greasing use a generous amount of butter or oil to avoid the Dutch baby to stick to the cake tin and help the sides to rise nicely.

*This dessert should be served straight away, as the puffed sides go down quickly.

*End of the day this dessert is a pancake, so you can make the batter ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days. Give the batter a quick whisk just before using it.

*Nice addition can be to the batter a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon.

*I didn’t use cast iron skillet but if you prefer to use it, you’ll need a 1 x 25cm/10-inch cast-iron frying pan/skillet.

*Don’t be tempted to open the oven door too early as the pancake will sink.

TOPPING IDEAS

Let’s remember the right topping can add not only to the taste but to the nutrition too. See a few topping ideas here: 

*Fresh fruit: berries, sliced bananas

*Drizzle of honey or maple syrup

*Finely chopped nuts or seeds

*Sprinkle of cinnamon

*Chocolate spread

*Dairy free yogurt

*Chocolate chips

*Ice cream
