As summer comes to an end, I had to pop on the blog and post one of my all time favorite breakfast recipes, Dutch Baby Pancakes. Soon pumpkins, squash, and the color orange will take over and no one will care about anything else. Le sigh….I like fall and all but summer is my favorite season. Warm weather and fresh fruit will be missed greatly by me.
So about these Mini Dutch Baby Pancakes…they’re amazing! Whoever thought about baking a pancake is a genius and should be honored. I’d make a plaque and hold a fancy dinner because baking pancakes is such a great idea. Seriously, the steps are as simple as preparing the batter, popping it in the oven, and then “ding ding ding,” breakfast is done. No longer are the days you have to watch the stove to ensure your pancake doesn’t burn. No worries about flat pancakes with this dutch baby recipe. I don’t know if I’ll ever make pancakes any other way.
I love these babies as minis. Why you may ask? Honestly…because they are soooo freaking cute. I used to make my dutch baby in a big cast iron skillet…which is cool and all….but this is just too cute and fancy to resist. And what about these cute ramekins? Perfect display when you want a fancy breakfast layout.

I bet you you can find all these ingredients in your house without even taking a trip to the grocery store. Another thing I love about this recipe.
Oh…and a blender. You need a blender. Can you believe mine died when I was preparing this very recipe. I improvised though and used a food processor. They came out just fine. But my poor blender, I’ll miss it.
Hopefully you love this recipe as much as my family and I do. My daughter has even become a pro in making these and wants to have competitions on whose taste better and who makes a better presentation. I let her think she wins.

There are two main culprits to flat, sad Dutch baby pancakes: Your oven wasn't hot enough. The hotter your oven, the more puffed your Dutch baby pancake will be. Make sure to preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes before baking the batter.
Eggs and milk: This light and fluffy Dutch baby recipe starts with two eggs whisked with milk. Flour: All-purpose flour lends structure and helps hold the batter together. Seasonings: These sweet Dutch babies are flavored with nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
In a bowl, whisk together 50g plain flour, 1 egg, 1tsp of vegetable oil, and 150ml of milk (formula/breastmilk/cow's milk). Pour the mixture into a pan and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. On top of the pancake, make a smiley face out of HiPP Organic's Strawberry and Raspberry Yogurt.
Making pancake and waffle batter ahead of time is a huge no-no and will lead to flat, dense results every time. Even letting your batter hang out for just a few minutes after you've mixed it before you start ladling it onto the griddle will lead to less fluffy results.
The chemicals in the baking powder react when combined with liquid, which triggers an initial release of gas. This first release happens slowly. A second, bigger burst of gas occurs when the batter is heated. Heat produces a quick burst of bubbles, and that's what really gives pancakes their fluffiness.
A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake, a Bismarck, a Dutch puff, Hooligan, or a Hootenanny, is a dish that is similar to a large Yorkshire pudding.
To those in the know, a Dutch baby really is just a large, puffy pancake, while Yorkshire pudding is a savory side dish that has graced meat-heavy meals in England for centuries. Yet, some people tend to confuse the two as being the same, owing to a similarity of ingredients and appearance.
Dutch pancakes are traditional and worldwide famous, and there is a reason for that. They come with a topping of your choice or just plain. And it is the topping that makes the pancakes in a pancake restaurant so special.
9 months old +: Serve any type of pancake cut into bite-sized pieces or continue to offer pancake strips for biting and tearing practice. If baby is overstuffing their mouth, try serving one bite-sized piece or pancake strip at a time.
Experts advise only introducing other milk, such as cow's milk or almond milk, after a baby's first birthday, as the specific nutrient profile in breast and formula milk is essential for development. Almond milk can safely be given to most toddlers but is not a replacement for breast milk or infant formula.
Yes!Once your baby is able to start eating solids, you can introduce cinnamon into their diet right away — in small amounts. This is generally around the age of six months, although it will vary based on the child.
Sometimes referred to as a Bismark, these pancakes were first served in the States in the early 1900s at Manca's, a diner in Seattle that eventually closed in the 1950s. The owner's daughter coined the name, “Dutch Baby,” presumably the result of an Americanization of Deutsch into Dutch.
Dutch Baby Pancakes taste like Crepes but in pancake form. The batter puffs up to form a billowy crust with a custard-like center. We also included instructions for making a Berry Dutch Baby and even a Double Dutch.
Flat pancakes are nearly always because of expired baking powder, too little baking powder for the recipe size, or too thin of a batter. How to fix flat pancakes: First, test your baking powder by adding a teaspoon of baking powder in a glass and adding a tablespoon of water or two.
Adding baking powder is the easiest way to make fluffy pancakes. There's more than one way to make the bubbles that make a pancake fluffy, but the easiest way is by adding a raising agent such as baking powder.
It is normal for the pancake to get really puffy while cooking, and then quickly deflate once it's removed from the oven. Don't be frustrated, this is exactly what's supposed to happen! Mix things up and try adding about a cup of fresh fruit over the top of the pancake batter, before it goes into the oven.
A – If you are going to let your batter rest, leave it for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. If you've got time, leave it for longer – even overnight in the fridge. Some say that there is no point in letting the batter rest and there's certainly no harm in using it straight away. Go ahead if you're in a rush.
