    What To Serve with Dutch Baby Pancake:

    To celebrate summer, I served this Dutch Baby Pancake with homemade strawberry compote and fresh berries. Strawberry compote is the perfect topping for any pancake or waffle. And to add extra protein, I also added ricotta cheese on top of the puff. I then finished up with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Please keep in mind, these are optional toppings. Feel free to use your own favorite toppings to your liking.

    How to Make Fluffy German Pancake:

    To make this fluffy pancake is so easy!

    • First, you need to make the batter by mixing flour, eggs, nutmeg (you may replace this cinnamon), vanilla, sugar, and salt in a high-speed blender (or blend by hand).
    • Second, melt the butter and grease the skillet. During this time, you will let the batter rest at room temperature so you can produce a lighter pancake.
    • Third, you need to cook the batter in the oven for about 20 minutes.
    • Lastly, make the Dutch baby pancake pretty by adding your favorite toppings and finish up with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

    To be safe, before you use the batter for the next recipe after putting it in the fridge for a few days, make sure that the pancake mix doesn't have any odor or any signs of mold.

    • Serve the dutch baby pancake warm with a generous amount of Strawberry compote, fresh berries, ricotta cheese and a sprinkling of powdered white sugar.

    Notes

    No blender?
    You can make your own pancake batter by mixing the eggs and milk for about 1 minute or until the mixture is light yellow. Then add the remaining ingredients: flour, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt into the mixture. Keep stirring until you see no lumps on the pancake batter. 
    Chopping strawberries:
    Finely chopped strawberry is highly recommended so you can cook the the strawberry compote faster and don't need a blender to puree.
    How to Zest Lemon without Zester: 
    You can use a vegetable peeler or sharp knife to slice very thin pieces from the lemon. Avoid peeling the bitter, white pith.

      I love Dutch babies, and I make them often. Sometimes I add cut up strawberries or whole blueberries to the batter. But I must say, the compote you placed on the top of the baby looked stunning. I will try it that way next time 🙂

      Loved this recipe - it was a great way to break in my new le Creuset skillet!! Just an FYI though: you didn’t mention when to include the eggs in the blended version!
