Dutch baby pancake

(Dutch babies, German pancake, Bismarck, Dutch puff, Hooligan, Hootenanny)

A Dutch baby pancake is a large, fluffy pancake baked in the oven, usually in a cast-iron skillet. It's made from a simple batter of eggs, flour, milk, and sugar. When baked, it puffs up dramatically around the edges, creating a light, airy texture with crispy edges and a custard-like center.


It is typically served with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, syrup, or lemon juice. However, Dutch baby pancake can also made as a savory dish. The Dutch baby pancake has American origins and was popularized in the early 1900s by a restaurant called Manca's Café in Seattle.


The name "Dutch Baby" is believed to be a corruption of "Deutsch," as the dish is similar to German pancakes. Unlike traditional pancakes, it is baked in the oven, causing it to puff up dramatically. Its unique texture and dramatic presentation have made it a beloved brunch dish in the United States.
