You're Doing It Wrong: Dutch Baby (German Pancake in Cast Iron)

[@stevec.8095]

Excellent video and excellent recipe! I cut the recipe in half and used a 9 inch Wagner square skillet this morning. The dish came out perfect! I passed the link on to my two adult daughters who, together with their young daughters, had fun and great results also! Thanks for sharing! Cheers

Hello. I made a puffed pancake weeks ago on a cast iron, and it was very "eggy" and chewy. And i thought, well, maybe Deutsche babies arent as delicious... as.....Suddenly, YOUR VIDEO came across my feed. So i made it again with less time in the oven and 7 pats of butter😮. OMG, this is sooo good, so custard, like pudding-y, and buttery. Thank you, it was DELICIOUS!❤

[@castironchaos]

Glad you liked it!

[@caterinacouts]

Thank you from Greece.I liked your recipe more than the others-the more the batter, the better!As the lady said,who eats only one pancake??And the lemon glaze on top..!!

9x13 dish, 6 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, zest from one lemon. Whisk out the lumps

[@huntersandell859]

What about the butter!

[@1madeintheimage]

The name Dutch Baby came from a Seatle restaurant called Mancas. One of Victor Mancas daughters called the small German pancakes they sold there, Deustch Babies. It had nothing to do with the Amish as there aren't any around here. It was a corruption of the word Deustch, with most folkseither heard wrong, or simply not knowing that Germany was called Deustchland.

That looks rather underdone, but if that’s what you like that’s what you like 😋

[@elizabethshaw734]

Overseas I have had them with the lemon however I also love maple syrup or golden syrup. If you make one of those and when it comes out you put golden syrup on it and thick heavy cream it makes an awesome dessert!

[@mariakepler1700]

Was cooking mine at 425 for 15 minutes and than lowering it to 350 for another 15 minutes. Way too dark will have to try this next time. Thank you

[@juergenurbas6395]

Thank you.- Danke . Great Video again , well done. Greeting from Germany.

[@pfris1197]

Looks yummy. However, I love a soft, custardy bottom when I make my German pancake, so I, too, reduce the baking time, and also reduce the temperature.

[@christinahaas3962]

I bake my Yorkshire puddings light too! So much better, more egg flavor and more tender. Better flavor

[@Michele-rva]

Is the big thing that you feel people are doing wrong just over cooking it or should we be using an enameled cast iron over traditional black cast iron pan?

[@james_lessick892]

Nice video, I have subscribed. Thank you.

[@JustJefffff]

If they like it that way ...... they'd LOVE it if they left it in the oven for another 6 - 9 minutes SMH

[@reneew8082]

I have watched a lot of videos how to make Dutch babies and no one ever put sugar in it, they put salt in it, but never sugar. So is there an authentic Dutch baby with sugar or without sugar? This seems like it would be more of a sugary pastry custard.

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

It’s 3-4 servings if you have also the eggs and bacon or sausage, maybe some fruit. I like to do a double batch so it’s nice and thick and everyone gets a wedge. You can scramble up some eggs in the time it’s cooking, but I agree I would eat one all by myself if I wasn’t having other things. (Think of the recipe, how many eggs can one person eat generally 2-3 so even with a little milk and flour a 6 egg recipe is going to feed 2 nicely and even with some extras 3-4, unless you’re making a real smorgasbord with tons of options). I feel like these are a main dish type of food though.

[@suzysmith7280]

I haven't tried these. Definitely going to now😊👍👌

[@chikinrancher]

Looks delicious .. I will definitely try it .. thanks for the recipe .. I watch your videos quite often but I admit this one turned me off a little with the sloppy prep and dirty fingernails ..

[@castironchaos]

If you watch my videos quite often, you'll see the preparations are often not very neat.

[@partsbill2003]

@jack lock There is no excuse for dirty nails around food. That is what a nail brush is for, even an old toothbrush.

[@P11247]

@@castironchaos You are the ones eating it, so no problem. Also, but they complain about those camping shows that have flies and bees land on the food. LOL

[@carlgilmore9821]

We always called them German pancakes, but then my wife's mother is German... Haven't made one in quite a while, but more I'll have to - they are good.

[@famoushollywood]

I just made one for the first time and it came out really thick and hard..... not sure why

[@Roytubechin]

Greasy.. Tasey! Well said. I love it!

[@YukonHawk1]

I love it when you guys cook together. 😁😁👍👍

[@beverlyfitzgerald7675]

@castironchaos Eric, I’ve never had any success trying to make one of these in my #8 Field or a 10 inch Well seasoned skillet. Followed instructions exactly: preheat oven, melt butter in skillet, whisk the ingredients together well using half of your demo person quantities. Flopped again (used the proper baking times. What happened to mine was, it formed a hard crust on top that prevented the puffing. Would you please help me problem solve. Thanks a bunch.

[@castironchaos]

Try using double the ingredients, in a rectangular baking dish. Even if that may not be cast iron.

[@beverlyfitzgerald7675]

Cast Iron Chaos Good suggestion. Thanks Eric.

[@ajswift7234]

Make sure ur ingredients are at room temperature

[@MarinaMichaels]

Got sent here from Cast Iron Cooking. I love how you two talk with each other. I'm going to go try this recipe right after I post this comment.

[@summerwood619]

Yummy

[@harrisonmantooth3647]

Thanks again for sharing yet another wonderful recipe. This will definitely be on the to do list especially, the next time our grandchildren congregate to our home. Fast, easy to make but especially, looks scrumptious to eat. I would imagine you could use any type of fruit, I'm thinking some fresh Blueberries, crushed and thinkened with some whole Blueberries added yummy. Thanks again for sharing another great video with us Eric. Stan

[@partsbill2003]

This is the exact recipe on several other channels, so who are you ccusing?

[@kjutras9719]

Some people aren't happy unless they're complaining.

[@ker5776]

No I believe i did mine right . Definitely not the original but still looks good

[@NowWhat480]

Everyone needs a cast iron pan or ceramic plated cast iron pot. It will change your life.

[@jfm562]

Deliciousness! I like your Corelle crazy daisy plates.

[@pippadawg7037]

Deutsch vs Dutch is a difference without a distinction since Deutsch and Dutch come from the same root and people didn't alway know they were living in Germany not the Netherlands since nations are a newer concept than the recipe which is older than the chicken. Every video on KZbin for Dutch Babies goes through the whole it Deutsch babies not Dutch Babies. It is Dutch Babies. That is the name of the dessert in America. Every single country from Russia to England and every single place in between has a variation of this dish. The English calls them Yorkshire pudding. The Australians make one. Even the Portuguese have their own version called Egg tarts. Americans call them Dutch Babies. We call fried potatoes French fries but no one bothers mentioning they're not French.

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

French fries comes from the slicing. When things are cut like that they are Frenched. Just like shoestring potatoes are Julienned. So Frenched Fried Potatoes became French Fries.

[@elizabethshaw734]

I have seen people make these with 12 eggs and 10 eggs.

[@walkingmckinney]

Looks great! That is a LOT of sugar.

[@kyliefitzgerald6984]

I made my first based on a recipe from Taste of Home. Cooked it for their recommended time and it was HORRIBLE. Way overcooked. Tough, rubbery, eggy. Not good. Will be trying it again with your recipe.

[@brightantwerp]

Being Dutch, I never heard of a Dutch baby, probably because it's German. But I love pancakes, so I will give it a try to make this. Thank you!

[@denisesoedarso4771]

Whats wrong with her voice? Is she OK?

[@rackayo945]

She sounds like she's drank alot and smoked.

[@kristydaniel-h7u]

I call it Pannakukku

[@garrisonh]

perfect!

[@cheshkat6321]

Ok. Twisted my arms. Definitely all for more butter. But all that sugar Will make this for my usual weekend indulgence if I remember to buy lemons. Try it once because I can always go back to making it "wrong" as I will be the one eating the whole dish.

[@joetexas1546]

Am just starting to watch. Are we gonna get a bunch of 'F'-Bombs? (I hope so-lol)

[@joetexas1546]

Danke Schon! Zehr gut!

[@lisamoroney3036]

Too eggy for me . I like the pancake better….

[@mickeyableman2306]

Your HISTORY is wrong. The teen Dutch baby comes from Seattle. Mancos restaurant served these in the early 1900s. The owners daughter coined the term, not the Amish who are on the complete other side of the country. Dutch Baby, you're the only one calling it Deutsch baby.

[@lebleubayou]

Sorry. From your picture, you are Not doing it right. Secondly, the minute somebody starts off with YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG, I lose interest. I just saw your picture and decided I like the way I'm doing it,cause I'm doing it correctly. Mine are absolutely gorgeous. And scrumptious.
