Traditionally these are made in a cast-iron pan, but these days I have trouble lifting anything that heavy so I decided to try making these in my pie plates. And it worked! They were light, and puffy and perfect!
You will need:
2 Tb butter
2 eggs
½ cup flour
½ cup milk
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp vanilla extract
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a 9” pie plate or cast iron pan, melt butter in the over. Watch this and don’t let the butter burn!
- When butter is melted, remove from oven and use a pastry brush and brush the butter over the bottom and side of the pan.
- In a bowl or small blender, beat the eggs, flour, milk, salt and vanilla together.
- Immediately pour into hot pie plate or pan.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes
- Dust with powdered sugar and a squeeze of lemon or top with your favorite fruit or pie filling!
- For a savory pancake, omit the vanilla and add chopped ham, cheese or veggies

Dutch Baby Pancakes are also known as a German Pancake, these puff pancakes are a favorite at our house. We just like them topped with powdered sugar and a squeeze of lemon, but you can top it with maple syrup, fresh fruit or jam!
