Allrecipes' editorial guidelines Published on December 15, 2021 Close Photo: Jill If you need an easy recipe that will impress everyone at breakfast or brunch, look no further than the Dutch baby pancake. Also known as German pancakes, these oven-baked pancakes are comprised of simple, staple pantry ingredients but make a dramatic presentation. In the oven, they puff up into a soufflé-like texture that's equally delicious and beautiful. (But snap your pics as soon as you take the skillet out of the oven because they deflate quickly!) Dutch babies are incredibly easy to personalize, and taste great whether they're done up savory or sweet. Make breakfast truly special with these Dutch baby recipes everyone will love. 01 of 15 Vanilla Dutch Baby View Recipe JUCHUNK You know a recipe is good when it doesn't have a single review under five stars.

The true magic of a Dutch baby is the contrast of texture between the crispy, crusty outside and the soft, custardy, fruity center. This version is not only gorgeous and delicious, but it's fun and simple to make! There's no sugar in the batter, so all the sweetness comes from the berries and the powdered sugar. For a sweeter version, serve with maple syrup like regular blueberry pancakes." — Chef John 15 of 15 More Inspiration: Meredith How to Make the Best Dutch Baby Pancakes Browse Our Best Pancake Recipes Get More Recipes for Baked Pancakes Was this page helpful?
