The Best Oven-Baked Dutch Baby Pancake Recipe
A frugal, family faviorite is this Homemade Dutch BabyPancake Recipe. We like to serve with maple syrup and powdered sugar. Other options include making fruit syrups too.
Equipment
- 1 large bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 skillet or pan
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- Serve with Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. This matters more than you’d think. The pancake rises dramatically, and too-high placement can cause burning.
- Put the butter in an oven-proof skillet. Add to oven to melt butter while you mix ingredients. This recipe makes a large dutch baby, so I like to use a 16 inch skillet. This one is similar to what I have.
- In a bowl, whisk together the ingredients: flour, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Add in the eggs and whisk until smooth.
- Remove hot skillet with melted butter from oven, pour batter mixture into the skillet, and pop back into the oven. Make sure to you a pot holder!
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees until golden brown.
- Remove hot oven and cut into wedges to serve. Top with your favorite toppings, like powdered sugar or berries. Serve with your favorite syrup.
Notes
- Make sure the top rack in the oven is lowered some because this will puff up during baking.
