Dutch Baby Pancake Recipe (Easy Oven Pancake)

Contrary to it’s name, the Dutch Baby Pancake is actually an American creation. It originated in a diner in Seattle, WA in the early 1900s. There are many forms of Dutch babies. The original is made in a cast iron pan and is sometimes filled with apples or caramelized pears.

Why we love Dutch Babies

I have been making Dutch Babies for my family for several years. My kids love them so much that I now have to make (2) 9 x 13 pans of them. We enjoy having Dutch Babies for a weekend dinner, served with a side of sausage patties.

Dutch Babies are easy to make

Dutch Babies are super easy to make, which makes them a quick and easy breakfast or dinner. Basically all it takes is mixing all the ingredients in a blender and pouring the batter into a hot and ready pan with melted butter. Using a blender to mix the batter helps make the Dutch Babies nice and fluffy when they are finished cooking.

There are many ways to enjoy Dutch Babies

We enjoy eating Dutch babies topped with homemade strawberry jam, but you can also top them with syrup. And if you want to add a little extra touch to your Dutch babies, you can add blueberries or diced apples to the batter. A secret trick is to sprinkle the Dutch Babies with powdered sugar as soon as you take them out of the oven. It’s a nice little finishing touch.
