Ever heard of a Dutch Baby? Well, my goodness, I hope you have!
These are sort of pancakes, but much poofier and you make them in the oven. I used to eat them every Sunday after church. I went with my parents when we all lived in Colorado. We used to get them at the Hungry Bear in Woodland Park.
Once I figured out that these are super easy to make: I introduced my own family to this delicious breakfast delight! These are assembled in a blender while you heat the pan in the oven. I always add some nutmeg and it brightens the flavor. It’s almost citrusy.
You then pull out the hot pan, and melt some butter in it. (This is a two, hot pad procedure.) I always pour some of the excess butter back into the blender. It helps the batter crisp up, the batter won’t stick to your pan and it adds even more flavor with the browned butter (from your very hot pan. Be careful doing this!)
Blend it all up for a minute, pour the batter out into the pan and put the pan with that beautiful batter, into the oven for ten minutes or so. Watch for the edges to push up and brown. Then, you have a finished Dutch baby!
One of my sons eats it with powdered sugar and lemon juice (as is traditional)
I eat mine with maple syrup and powdered sugar.
My other boy smothers his with powdered sugar and chocolate syrup (he never has enough chocolate!)
My kids love them and I never seem to make them often enough! Although, last weekend was Dutch Baby time!
Here are the instructions:
Buttery Dutch Baby
Ingredients
- 3 large room temperature, eggs
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup room temperature, whole milk
- 1 Tbsps sugar
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 4 Tbsps butter
- Your choice of topping. Powdered sugar is definitely suggested!
Put everything but the butter in a blender.
Put a ten inch pan in the oven and heat it to 425°F
Blend your batter. You can double or triple this. Just use about two cups of batter to each Dutch Baby.
Scrape down the inside of the blender and whip everything up evenly.
You take your pan out of the oven and place it on your stove. Then add the butter. Stir the butter until melted. Carefully pour most of the melted butter, into your blender. Leave about 2 tablespoons of melted butter in the pan.
Whip up the butter added batter again. Pour into pan.
Place pan back in oven. Start with ten minutes of cooking and keep an eye on it. It’s done when it bubbles up in the center and the edges are crisp and light brown.
Enjoy with your favorite syrup and powdered sugar!

Me too. I hope to find time to post some recipes for “all things pumpkin.”

One of the most unique, is Pumpkin Fudge. Surprisingly good.
