If you love brunch and fluffy cakes, the Dutch babies are a must-try!

The recipe for the Dutch baby pancake came about using the German Pfannkuchen as the inspiration. The creator of this fluffy delicacy was the owner of Manca’s Cafe by Victor Manca.

Victor Manca was a restauranteur based in Seattle who brought the tradition of the German pfannkuchen to America in the 1900s. However, instead of making a big pancake like the German version, he created a smaller pancake and named it “Dutch Baby”.

The perfect German Pfannkuchen or Dutch baby uses room temperature ingredients

He closed the restaurant in the 1950s but the Dutch baby pancakes continued being a favorite among breakfast lovers. The classic Dutch baby pancake has shavings of lemon peel, lemon curd sauce, and confectioners sugar. Others serve the dutch babies with fruit preserves and or homemade syrups.

Tips to make the perfect German Pfannkuchen or Dutch Baby.

  • The Dutch baby pancakes recipe has few ingredients, however, the eggs and the milk require to be at room temperature.
  • Use high-quality non-salted butter and use the exact amount on the recipe. Do not add less.
  • Adding baking soda could help with altitude variations and help the pancake to rise. However, the classic recipe doesn’t include a leavening agent.
  • The German Pfannkuchen batter comes together in the blender, but a hand mixer or a whisk is allowed too.
  • Use fresh seasonal ingredients, jams, lemon curd, dulce de leche, hazelnut chocolate cream, or other garnishes. Do not miss the dusting with confectioner’s sugar.
  • Typically an iron seasoned skillet is used for oven baking the Dutch baby pancake. However, we used the Radical Pan by Chef Oren as it withstands oven temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and the design includes a cool stealth handle.
  • Preheat the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and when the pancake has risen lower the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and finish cooking.
  • Serve the fluffy pancake immediately and enjoy with your favorite cold or hot drink.
  • The Radical Pan by Chef Oren is perfect for family-style dishes like this German Pfannkuchen.
