What is a Dutch Baby?
A Dutch Baby is a larger and thinner version of a traditional American pancake. It contains a few basic ingredients, including flour and vanilla. While commonly referred to as a Dutch Baby, the breakfast treat has other unique names, such as the Dutch Puff, Bismarck, and Hootenanny. My husband grew up calling it a German pancake. The names are endless for this easy breakfast recipe!
Dutch Baby Ingredients
If you’d like to make the Dutch Baby Pancake, you’ll need:
- all-purpose flour
- eggs
- milk
- cinnamon
- vanilla
- sugar

Butter – You can use salted or unsalted butter. If you use salted, omit the salt in the recipe. You’ll need to cut the unsalted butter into chunks before you use it.

How to Make a Dutch Baby

5. Take it back out of the oven, swirl the butter around, and then pour your batter into the skillet.
6. Place the skillet back in the oven and cook for roughly 20 minutes.
7. Turn the oven off, let the skillet sit for five minutes, and then remove it.
8. Let it cool down for a few minutes before you slice into it and serve it with your favorite toppings.
What type of skillet do I need?

Ingredients
- ½ c. all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ c. whole milk, room temperature
- ½ t. ground cinnamon
- ½ T. vanilla
- 1 T. sugar
- ½ t. salt
- 3 T. unsalted butter, cut into chunks
Instructions
1. Place top oven rack just above the center position and pre-heat oven to 425°F.
2. Combine the flour, eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into a blender and blend until aerated and no clumps remain, approximately 1 minute.
3. Use the butter to thoroughly grease the exposed surface of the skillet, as shown, and then place in the hot oven just until melted. Remove from oven and carefully swirl to ensure the butter is evenly distributed across the bottom of the skillet.
4. Pour the blended batter into the center of the hot skillet and place in the hot oven. Cook until the edges are puffed up and golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Turn off oven and allow the skillet to remain in the oven for 5 additional minutes.
