Dutch Baby Poofed Pancake Recipes

VANILLA DUTCH BABY (PUFFED PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the butter in a large, ovenproof, nonstick saute pan and place in the oven.
• Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the eggs, flour, warm milk, sugar, vanilla extract and pinch of salt, and blend on medium-high speed until uniform. (If mixing by hand, combine the eggs with the milk until the mixture is light yellow and no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously to remove the lumps, about 30 seconds.)
• Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. The butter should be melted. Swirl the butter around the pan to coat completely, and then pour the remaining butter into the batter and pulse to blend. Pour the batter into the hot pan and return the pan to the oven. Cook until the pancake is puffed in the center and golden brown along the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom and rendering the pancake soggy. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cooled slightly. Slice the pancake into 8 wedges on a serving platter or cutting board.

• While the Dutch baby bakes, in a small bowl combine the fresh blueberries, 1 teaspoon sugar, and lemon zest. Stir to coat, and set aside to marinate.
• Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom and rendering the pancake soggy. Slice the pancake into wedges on a serving platter or cutting board and sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar through a sieve. Serve with the marinated blueberries.

DUTCH BABY POOFED PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 and put a cast iron skillet inside to get hot.
• Whisk or beat eggs.
• Add milk and oil and whisk again.
• Add flour and salt and whisk very well.
• Remove skillet from oven, melt butter and swirl to coat entire surface [wiping sides with a paper towel dipped in the butter].
• Pour in batter all at once.
• Return to oven and bake for 18-20 minutes - it's better not to be too golden brown on the underside - and may take a few (delicious) tries to figure what degree of doneness YOU like best with your oven and pan.
• Remove and serve at once garnished with slim lemon wedges and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar.
• I would think you could use a souffle or casserole dish but haven't tried it myself.

OMA DUTCH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together. Add oil and eggs to this mixture. Slowly add the milk to a very thin consistency. Whisk well til very few lumps remain.
• Fry about 1/2 cup of this mixture at a time in a quite hot frying pan sprayed with pam, you only need to grease the pan intermittantly after that. Spread thinly in the hot pan by tipping the pan in circular motion. The thinner the pancake the better:) Fry them til the top of the pancake appears dry then flip over until it is quite brown on the bottom.
• These take some practice but are worth the effort!

DUTCH BABY PANCAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425* F.
• Either melt butter in an oven-proof skillet and remove from heat OR melt it in a regular saucepan and pour into a prepared (liberally buttered) pie pan.
• In a blender, combine the eggs and milk and whirl until foamy and pale.
• Add to the blender the vanilla, flour, sugar and salt.
• Whirl until fully blended.
• Pour batter into the melted butter--it will look like a dish of white soup with slicks of oil on top (not appetizing at all, I know).
• Bake in the oven about 18 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
• Slice when the "puff" has deflated and serve with jam or sugar.

BROWN BUTTER DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Melt butter in a medium cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns (do not burn), about 5 minutes. Swirl butter in skillet to coat sides of pan, then transfer half to a small bowl; set aside.
• Blend eggs, flour, milk, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar in a blender until pale and foamy, about 1 minute. Pour batter into hot skillet, then transfer to oven and bake until puffed and lightly browned, 15-20 minutes.
• Drizzle with reserved brown butter and sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar. Cut into wedges and serve.

CLASSIC DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F, with a medium cast-iron skillet (10 inches, measured across top) inside on the center rack. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
• Purée eggs in a blender until pale and frothy, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture, milk, and vanilla. Purée until smooth, about 30 seconds (the batter will be thin). Add butter to skillet in oven. When it melts and sizzles, pull out the rack and quickly pour batter into center of skillet.
• Bake until pancake is puffed, golden brown in places, and crisp along the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve immediately with yogurt, fruit, and syrup.
