No reviews

This puffed oven pancake, known as a Dutch Baby or German Pancake, is an effortlessly elegant breakfast dish. With a simple batter of eggs, flour, and milk, it bakes into a golden, airy delight with crisp edges—perfect topped with berries, powdered sugar, or syrup.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  2. In a blender, combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Blend for about 30 seconds.
  3. Scrape down the sides and blend a few seconds more until smooth.
  4. Once the oven is nearly preheated, add butter to a 9×13-inch glass baking dish and place it in the oven until melted and hot (not browned).
  5. Carefully remove the dish and pour the batter directly into the melted butter.
  6. Return to oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, until puffed and golden around the edges.
  7. Serve immediately in slices, topped with fresh berries, powdered sugar, or syrup.

Notes

  • Serve immediately as the puff will deflate quickly once removed from the oven.
  • Use a glass or metal baking dish for best results.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness before serving.
  • Can also be made in a cast-iron skillet for a rustic look.
