Ingredients for German Pancakes

  • Eggs – Eggs are essential for achieving the rise. To quickly bring eggs to room temperature, place them in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes.
  • Whole milk – To bring the milk to room temperature, microwave it for 15 seconds.
  • Flour – We use all-purpose flour.
  • Sugar – Adding 1 Tbsp of sugar lightly sweetens the pancake.
  • Vanilla Extract – We recommend homemade vanilla extract for the best flavor.
  • Pinch of salt – A pinch of salt helps balance the flavor.
  • Pinch of nutmeg – While optional, a pinch of nutmeg adds a nice touch.
  • 3 Tbsp butter – Softened or melted, and we use unsalted butter.

Common Questions

Why do they call it Dutch Baby?

Dutch Baby pancakes have their origins in German Pancakes. The name “Dutch” was coined by Manca’s Cafe (1900-1950), a restaurant in Seattle. The owners’ daughter mispronounced the German word “Deutsch,” which means German. Initially, it was served as three small (baby) pancakes, hence the name “Dutch Baby.”

Do I need a blender?

You can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl and whisk vigorously until well blended. Alternatively, you can use an electric hand mixer.
