Treat your family to a delicious Oven Baked German Pancake, also known as Dutch Baby, with our easy recipe. This wonderful breakfast dish is a family favorite that puffs up in the oven, creating a custardy center and a puffy crust.
Best of all, with the use of simple ingredients, your delicious breakfast will be ready in just half an hour. Whether you're serving it on a special occasion or as an easy breakfast recipe for a lazy morning, this puffy pancake will never disappoint.
To make the most of the wow factor, gather the whole family around the table before taking it out of the oven (it tends to shrink as it cools down). This way you'll create a wonderful breakfast experience for your loved ones.
Ingredients
6 eggs (large)
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons ghee (or unsalted melted butter)
powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar, for serving)
Some recipes recommend using room temperature ingredients, a hot pan, or allowing the batter to rest for the best results. However, this recipe consistently yields a perfectly puffed giant pancake for me even without these additional steps.
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Add ghee to a 9" by 13" steel cake pan and use a silicone brush to evenly coat the bottom. 2. Add eggs, whole milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour and salt to a blender or food processor (you can also use a hand blender). Blend until you have a smooth and thin batter, making sure to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to incorporate all the pancake ingredients. 3. Pour pancake batter into the prepared pan. 4. Place the pan into the hot oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and lightly golden brown around the edges. 5. Once the Dutch Baby is done baking, remove it from the oven and top it with a generous amount of fresh berries, such as fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries. Add a sprinkle of confectioners’ sugar for a touch of sweetness. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup for an extra layer of flavor. Slice and serve your Oven Baked German Pancake while it's still hot.
