If you've never tried a dutch baby before here are three reasons why you should soon: 1. They are delicious. Think if a pancake and crepe had a child. 2. They're called Dutch Babies. That's adorable. Duh. 3. They are super easy to make. It's kind of a baked pancake. No flipping required.
I've been making these for a while now. I originally learned from this recipe and this lovely blog. Here's what I do.
Dutch Babies, makes two (very filling) servings.
Needed: 4 eggs, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2/3 cup flour, 2/3 cup milk and 2 tablespoons butter for the pans.
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Place a tablespoon of butter into two small cast iron skillets (or other oven safe pans) and place them in the oven while it heats up, melting the butter.
In a bowl combine the eggs and milk, whisk to combine. Add in the other ingredients and stir until no lumps remain in the batter. Once your oven is preheated remove the hot pans and give them a shake to evenly distribute the butter (if needed). Divide the batter in half and pour into each pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve with powder sugar, fresh fruit and plenty of maple syrup. Enjoy! xo. Emma
over here in austria we call them "Palatschinken" I think it's originally from hungary :) love them so much!

Here in Holland we call this a "pannekoek" (pancookie). They are also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Lovely pictures, as always!

Well, I am also Dutch, but these are new to me. I know the pancakes (pannekoeken, as a poster mentioned before) , but these are made in the oven? So no actual pannekoek. You will have a hard time finding these Dutch babies in the Netherlands. Too bad, because they do look really delicious!

These look delicious. I wonder why they are called Dutch though? I've never seen them before and I'm from the Netherlands.
Nevertheless, thanks loads for sharing because I should definitely try these, yummy!

Yum ... My boyfriend made me something like this a while ago, it was a bit thicker and had apples instead of peaches. Very filling, but delicious.
