**RECIPE**
eggs (one per person, I do 2-3 in a 10 in / 25 cm pan)
milk (1/3 cup, 80mL per egg)
flour (1/3 cup, 40g per egg, and I like to replace up to half my flour with starch)
salt (a pinch per egg)
sugar (1 teaspoon per egg, sweet or savory)
vanilla (only for sweet)
spreadable cheese, like ricotta/brie/mascarpone (OPTIONAL 1 tablespoon per egg, improves the taste but makes it not puff as much)
butter
toppings (lemon juice and powdered sugar is nice for sweet, eggs/salami/onion is nice for savory)
If possible, warm the eggs and the milk before mixing. Combine the eggs, salt, sugar and vanilla (if using) in a mixing bowl and whisk until frothy. Whisk in the flour until smooth, then whisk in the milk. Or you could just dump all of that in the blender at once. Let the batter sit for at least 20 minutes before baking.
Put your pan (nonstick or cast iron) in the oven and get the oven heating to 425ºF/220ºC. When it's all the way hot, take the pan out of the oven and melt in a thick film of butter. Pour in the batter and return the pan to the oven. Bake until puffy and golden (mine took 20 minutes).
If you want to cook some eggs on top like I do in the video, bake until almost done, pull it out, put on your eggs/seasonings/onions/salami/whatever and return to the pan for a few minutes until the yolk is as firm as you want it.
Transfer to a cooling rack and let it steam out before you eat.

Former Dutch baby here. My parents used to take me everywhere in a pan instead of a stroller, up until the day I became a toddler. I told them about the horrible time I had being put in an oven but they ignored me and just told me I had to continue building a dike or my wooden shoes would get wet.

If you want a less bland sweet Dutch baby, I recommend sprinkling a layer of light brown sugar and cinnamon on your pan before adding the batter. It makes it inherently more sweet and gives it a nice crunch - it’s always been one of my favorite breakfasts.

I even do it all with one glass measurin cup for mixin and a deep pan for bakin so i dont have to dirty a lot of dishes for it either and can mix it up quick. I also do a cold start for the oven which changes how it crisps up but means not havin to deal with a hot oven except at the end; and honestly i just broil/grill it at the end if i want crispier.

A tip from someone who has made crepes every Sunday morning for like 20 years, if you put the flour/cornstarch in a sieve and slowly sift the flour in tiny batches to your liquid ingredients, stirring aggressively with a whisk, it will autolyze enough while being added so that you don't need to wait 20 minutes. I start cooking the crepes almost as soon as the batter is made and they work every time. Also, when I make Yorkshire pudding I usually just mix the batter up in the morning and leave it near the warm oven as the roast cooks. You could make this batter, cover and leave it on the counter over night.

[@Finwolven]

As someone who made crepes just about every week in a similar fashion while being a student, it's not the end of the world even if you don't autolyse / rest the batter, it's just ever so slightly grittier in texture. The flour gets cooked enough (or you have an underdone crepe). I found that making a large batch of batter kept well enough I could have stuffed crepes and dessert crepes with friends and still have enough the next day to make quesadilla-style cheese-filled breakfast out of them for us. If any was left over, I'd end up eating it as dessert with dinner, but the batter could survive two nights in the fridge if necessary.

Funny that my family called them German pancakes when I was growing up. We tended to make them a little thicker and with more butter in a 9x13 pan.

[@londubh2007]

I use cold eggs and cold milk and mix the flour in last (yes I do get some lumps but can usually whisk them out). I also don't let it sit for 20 minutes and they rise up just fine in the oven (but I prefer to have my eggs and milk warm and let the batter set for a few minutes though not the full 20). The first time I made one from scratch I put the flour in with the eggs before the milk and it didn't rise in the oven. I have yet to make a savory dutch baby but I usually serve mine with sautéed spiced apples or I bake blueberries right in. I also like to add lemon zest to the batter.

I'm German and I've never seen anything like that being served for breakfast. Looked it up on Wikipedia and it's entirely American. We don't eat big breakfasts like that.

[@pennyforyourthots]

America had a big wave of German immigrants in the past, and a lot of German food traditions got mixed with other cultures on the East Coast (ex. Our love of pretzels). This is likely to descended from a much older German culture (I want to say the immigration wave was the early 1800s) mixed with English and Dutch food traditions, so it would be unrecognizable to a modern German regardless. Also it's worth noting that Adams Savory version is distinctly non-traditional.

I'm German and I've actually never seen a 'Dutch Baby' or something that is similar to the this. The closest to this might be Eierkuchen/Pfannkuchen but that's just a basic european pancake like 'Palatschinke' or maybe even Crêpe. Another think that might interest you is 'Bauernfrühstück' (or 'farmer's breakfast' in English). It's similar to your savory version. It seems like there are different versions of this dish as well. It's basically german fried potatoes (so basically slices of potatoes with bacon, onions, etc.) but after they are almost ready to serve you put in some already scrambled/mixed eggs to basically make an omlette with fried potatoes. It's really good but I'm sure there are a lot of things that you could tweak to make this even better.

A 3-egg dutch baby in a big cast iron is the favourite Sunday breakfast since years in my household. Tips to really make it the king of all pancakes: 1. 3 eggs, 100g flour, 180g milk, pinch salt, all mixed with hand blender/whisk and brought to room temperature. 2. Use spelt flour. This is probably harder to find in the US/Canada, but in Germany where I live is found everywhere 3. Don't shy on the butter, and use it to caramelise some fruit. I usually use a whole diced apple tossed in cinnamon. 4. Pour the room-temperature batter directly onto your butter/fruit 5. Pan goes into a COLD oven, set to 200C with convection The outcome is simply fantastic IMO. Super interesting varying crispy outsides, soft pancakey insides, caramelised cinnamon apple. I usually serve with maple sirup, I'm Canadian after-all.

[@stevereed3451]

Also, he's making them too thin, so it's just all crust.

[@SoggieWafflz]

yeah growing up with these, you want them thick and honestly could even do without the crust

[@purplealice]

My mother used to make plain popovers for brunch whenever there was time. She prepared the batter and poured it into well-buttered muffin cups, and then place it in a *COLD* oven and then turn the heat to450 F. Bake without opening the oven for about half an hour. Serve with plenty of butter and jam.

[@Bearnanke]

Here is the ultimate dutch baby recipe (for 2-3). Gets an insane rise (think 3-4 inches above the pan). 4 Eggs 1 Cup Whole Milk 1 Cup Flour (AP or Bread) Big pinch salt 2-3 Tablespoons melted butter Whip is good! Adam's mixing directions are great (warm batter, ect). Now preheat your oven to 400-425 (hotter if a cooler oven), and leave in your Metal Pan of Choice (I use a 12" carbon steel pan, MUCH better rise than cast iron. A 12-inch cast iron pan is fine though). Now take out your preheated pan (think 20-30 minutes of preheating), dump in the melted butter, dump in the batter in the middle of the butter so that some comes on top of the batter edges, then put in the oven! Don't worry about the time, just watch it until the sides are huge and the edges are crisped up, maybe 9-12 minutes.

[@laurieleannie]

WHY have I never heard of these? They look delicious!

[@christinedunphy318]

That's the recipe I've always used and they look like they're trying to escape from the oven! Fabulous recipe...❤

[@mmasque2052]

Substituting (corn)starch is very dependent on where you live. If you’re using all-purpose flour, it’s a must! If you have access to pastry flour or live in areas with a lighter (less gluten) flour, like the US south, you won’t need nearly as much; if any. It comes down to the kind of wheat being used to make the flour and can be very regional even when it’s a national brand. Adding cornstarch to flour (1-2 tablespoons per cup) used for coating when frying will also make for a crispier coating. Gluten is your friend when making bread; less so for other uses.

[@stevenjames5874]

Heyy, I just made some protein pancakes. Nice timing. Adam, PLEASE do some Asian cuisine in the future. I'd love to see you tackle rice omelets or teriyaki!

[@justinator1010]

In the UK we tend to use the topping for the sweet version on pancakes especially for "pancake day" which is an actual thing over here and the weeks leading up to it they sell kits that can include a pan, batter mix, lemon juice and sugar.

[@ColinPredator]

Im dutch and ive never heard of it. But i will definitely make this 😂

[@greenmachine5600]

They're American

[@TheMidnightPhil]

Man, the recipe I grew up with is a balanced a fair bit differently. The base is 3 eggs, 1/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup flour, pinch of salt, 20 minutes at 400° F, top with powdered sugar and/or maple syrup. We often do a double batch in a 13x9 casserole or 12" skillet; it comes out much heftier and chewier, but we like it.

[@Axqu7227]

I have some mini Dutch babies cooking in the oven right now and some peach preserves waiting to go on top! My house smells like heaven already and I can’t wait! Edit: They came out beautifully and I ate half of them. Oops.

[@englishatheart]

So popovers/Yorkshire Puddings? This is just a big version of those.

[@LunaZeidner]

I used to make these with a applepie filling in the middle. I love the savory idea. Gonna see if i can try it out this weekend

[@WesEats]

Never heard of this! really cool recipe :D easy but will probably impress a lot of people! and as a Dutchy living in Germany, I'm definitely offended ❤️

[@Mthompson2100]

My grandmother was from Germany and came over in the 40s and this has been a family tradition in our family every Christmas morning. We do sweet but "squeeze of lemon" is an understatement. We use lemon juice and lots of powdered sugar to make almost a lemon frosting. Also we always have melted butter on the table. I haven't ever tried savory but you are peaking my interest!

[@Hyperion656]

7:03 I knew it, I always called them German Pancakes, and I made them a lot growing up.

[@0910MK1]

That's so interesting! I am from Germany but I've never seen anything like it. Wonder where it really comes from. Although there are many different dishes in different parts of Germany. So maybe someone else knows it...

[@Rocketsong]

@@0910MK1 Yeah, what my wife calls a German Pancake is more like a thick crepe.

[@greenmachine5600]

@@0910MK1 they're American

[@0910MK1]

@@Rocketsong That's true!! 😃 And where I come from (Bavarian Swabia) they are even thinner, almost like a crepe. Maybe that's the difference between Eierkuchen in Northern Germany and Pfannkuchen in the South.

[@leparraindufromage366]

Yeah they're American, don't know why they are associated with Germany. You could argue that they kind of resemble Bavarian 'Auszogne' in shape but those are prepared very differently. Those are essentially fried donuts. German pancakes are just thicker crêpes usually, also similar to palatschinke. There's also 'Kaiserschmarrn' which may sometimes be prepared in the oven if you have a very airy batter with whipped egg whites, but it's torn into little pieces afterwards

[@chshrkt]

When my wife and I met, our mothers both had the same 1977 Sunset Magazine with the recipe for Dutch Baby in it, and we both grew up eating them on the weekends. That's how we knew we were a good match. ;)

[@FutureCommentary1]

Y'all Chef John has had a Dutch baby recipe up on his channel for a while now. And made another one recently also.

[@andrewblack7852]

As an all in one breakfast dish combination using starch and proteins, Loco moco is better. Adding pancakes vs placing the items on top of short grained rice. The loco has Homemade gravy which dribbles down into the egg yolk and onto the rice. We add either sausage links or hamburger patty. If I make patties I mix in ginger and garlic to the patty. Garnish with green onion, cilantro etc. really a nice Delux approach.

[@pariscloud2907]

Aww! It's a premie!

[@ChaosKeep]

We called them German Pancakes. Topped with fresh lemon juice and powder sugar. 4 eggs, 2/3 cup milk, 2/3 cup flour, pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup of butter melted in the pan before pouring into the pan. Back 25 min, at 325

[@BruceEEvans1]

"Two and a half times more non-stick..." Huh? By what metric?

[@andreasguerrero3865]

My mother would make one of these every sunday morning. She does it in a baking pan and doesnt add sugar, even though we eat it with jam and maple syrup and yogurt. She also does it much thicker: the finished product can be more than an inch thick (~2 cm) and it is never chewy

[@DanielPetersen]

Thank you Misen! I would love to buy their products, but they don't deliver to Denmark 😔

[@halo6534]

You’re not missing out on anything. Trust me. These KZbinrs get paid to say a inferior product is good. I purchased Misen a couple years back and it was a waste and disappointing. Poorly made, dents easily, toxic coating, doesn’t last long, and pretty pricey for something that’s a mediocre “Amazon basics” product at best.

[@DanielPetersen]

@@halo6534 - wow - thanks man!

[@cheche2858]

Hey thanks for the discount on pans Adam Imma move out from my parents and I've saved many of your recipes in a list for when I move and I need to get pans. So I appreciate it!

[@the_listamin]

As a German who never heard of this recipe before, it's a great honour for me to be rightfully offended (:

[@popelgruner595]

Same ^^

[@theownphantom]

So, lots of people called 'em "German pancakes", the "dutch" part is also just an anglicization of "deutsch" and we Germans never heard of 'em. It's weird how certain foods are just attributed to some part of the world. By the way, the actual german pancake is either a jelly-filled donut or a slightly thicker crêpe.

[@mennis9736]

As a dutch baby myself once in my life I've never heard of this before

[@tastyhaze2058]

My family used to eat the lemon juice and powdered sugar version, we called them "german pancakes". Thanks for the recipe!

[@SamBrickell]

>"dutch babies are a little bland and kinda chewy for my taste..." Dude I don't think you're making these correctly. I was surprised how much puff you lost and really disappointed when I saw how hard you had to saw through it at *4:14*

[@zeldasmith6154]

You do a great job. You're clear, exact and you don't waste time. And no music. Thank you.

[@UdderlyEvelyn]

Isn't it potentially quite cancer-inducing to heat non-stick pans to high temperatures, particularly when they are empty? This seems ill-advised to me. Perhaps you have some fancy pan that is capable without the coating beginning to smoke or degrade but be careful Adam.

[@traininthebutt7215]

A nonstick pan probably gets just as much, if not more heat on a burner. The difference is the heat is more localised on the burner, whereas the oven distributes the heat. I could be wrong, but it seems fine.

[@ninomojo]

Watching you from France and I must say I really appreciate that you take the time to give the metric units as well. 👍

There's a place near my in-laws that make a savory dutch baby that has pan fried veggies (broccoli, peppers, onions) and topped with gouda cheese.

What's a Dutch Baby? About $2k less than an American baby.

[@neyikun4261]

True

[@maxieq]

As to the savoury version, here in Sweden we make something similar. Pork pancake. Or "fläskpannkaka". We make it in the oven, except not in a frying pan. Serve with lingonberry jam to add a bit of sweetness. Delicious. It also looks great on Instagram. For five minutes :)

[@ap94131]

Loved the video, and also love Misen. I have a non-stick pan and the short chefs knife. I use them so often they never go in a cupboard or drawer. Glad you are on their side (or they are on yours, I don't know how that works).

[@SandyRiverBlue]

A dollop of ricotta. Drizzle with honey and add the soft fruit of your choice (I like fresh peaches and cherries or thinly sliced strawberries sweetened with a little bit of sugar and poured over the top).

[@JuneYjune]

This is amazing and so easy to do! Thank you!! I was doubtful that my batter would rise but it did and it was glorious! Used 4 eggs and a dutch oven - made a savory one for dinner first then a sweet one... For 2 people. Impressed myself 😂

[@ethanworth9274]

Am I the only one who grew up making these by caramelizing a bunch of sugar in the pan beforehand? That's the real way to eat sweet dutch babies IMO

[@phyphor]

Every time I see you make this sort of thing I remember the recipe (for Yorkshire puddings) I was taught when I was growing up: 1 egg 1/2 pint of milk 1/4 pound of flour (four ounces) In metric it's about 250 ml of milk and 100g flour.

[@minuteman4199]

I'm Anglo Canadian and we cook by volume more than by weight so the recipe is one cup milk one cup flour and one cup eggs (which works out to 3).

[@Emmet_Moore]

Yeah, it's 1:2:3 egg to flour to milk by weight (my nan taught me exactly the same recipe). The secret to good Yorkshires/pancakes is to make the batter the night before and leave it in the fridge.

[@thesilverecluse]

This is the closest thing to the "German Oven Pancakes" I grew up on. Would love to hear the history of oven pancakes.

[@aleisterlavey9716]

Could be the same. Dutch and German is sometimes used interchangeably because in the past they didn't differ. German in German is Deutsch.

[@Noah-rd8xe]

@@aleisterlavey9716 yeah but these aren't dutch or German, German pancakes are eaten in most of Europe instead of American or Japanese pancakes, these on the other hand aren't eats at all in Germany and the Netherlands, seems more British than anything
