What are Dutch Baby Pancakes
Dutch baby pancakes are a cross between a pancake and a crepe. They get puffy in the oven while baking and then deflate when removed from the oven. They are typically served with freshly squeezed lemon, butter, and powdered sugar but it is also common to add fruit, homemade apple butter, jam, jelly or maple syrup. Dutch Babies are great for being served as a breakfast or brunch food.

How to serve dutch baby pancakes
If serving as a part of a meal, slice into wedges, otherwise each one is big enough for 2 people to enjoy.
When they are finished baking you can serve them in the skillet you cooked them in or remove them. Serve warm with fresh fruits inside, a squeeze of lemon or orange and dusting of powdered sugar.
You can also dip slices in real maple syrup.
Nutella, jams, jellies, preserves and peanut butter are also great spread on top of dutch baby pancakes.
We also like to fill them with fruit right out of the oven and put a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
