Golden, crispy edges and delicate, soft centre - this is the best baked pancake called a dutch baby. This time I prepared cute mini dutch babies in separate ramekins for each family member. Don't you think they look lovely? With the addition of sour apple and sprinkled with powdered sugar, they taste delicious!
Baking of dutch baby (or mini dutch babies) is less time-consuming than frying traditional pancakes. Therefore, if you haven't had them before, I highly recommend trying this simple recipe. Preparation of the batter won’t take you more than 5 minutes, and the oven will do the rest. It sounds fantastic to me! :)
Can I prepare a dutch baby without a cast-iron skillet?
For the preparation of baked pancakes, a cast-iron skillet is usually recommended. In my opinion, most ovenproof dishes will work just fine. I think that the proportions and temperature of the ingredients are more important. It is also important to heat the dish before pouring the batter.
Will a dutch baby collapse out of the oven?
Unfortunately, the beauty of baked pancake is that it collapse quite quickly after being removed from the oven. Most importantly, it still tastes delicious! So there is nothing to worry about.
