What Makes Dutch Baby Pancakes So Special?

Perfect for family breakfast menu: These Pancakes are baked in the oven and depending on your dish you can make them large or extra large which serves the whole family. I guess works great for whoever is in charge of making breakfast for the whole family.

Pantry Friendly: Ingredients are just simple and we always have them at home.

Saves time and energy: Morning is that time of the day when everyone is desperate for just a little bit of time for themselves. This recipe saves you from standing by the stove and flipping one pancake after another. Just blend and pour and the rest of the magic continues in the oven.

Versatile: The recipe is simple and you can use any topping of your choice. You can even go for savoury ones with eggs, bacon and cheese as toppings.

Ingredients for making Dutch Baby Pancakes:

Lemon: Both fresh lemon juice and zest have been used in this recipe. The combination of both makes these pancakes flavourful but not overpowering.

Blueberries: You can go for any fruit of your choice. Here in this recipe I have used Blueberries. Please use fresh Blueberries and not frozen one. Frozen fruit will have more water content which will make the batter go down instead of puffing up.

Flour: Simple all purpose flour is used in the recipe. Gluten free flour also works but the edges does not puff up as all purpose flour.

Egg: Make sure egg are at room temperature.

Vanilla Extract: Try to use quality pure vanilla. It makes great difference in flavour

Milk: Make sure milk is also at room temperature.

Sugar: Sugar is used both in the batter and also for tossing fruit.

Salt: It helps bring out the flavours and balance sourness from Lemon.

Butter: Make sure to use unsalted butter.
