Apple Dutch Baby, German Pancake or Hootenanny?

12 Comments/ 123/ 0

I have seen a lot of friends post that they make Dutch Babies and I have always been intrigued. I never had one and wasn’t really sure what they were but I found a recipe for Apple Dutch Baby in a discarded Better Homes and Gardens in our Connestee Library so I had to pull it out and try it.

Basically it is a puffed pancake, German pancake, American popover, or my personal favorite – a Hootenanny. The secret to this pancake is that it is cooked in the oven and as it cools it sinks in a bit that makes there perfect little space to hold some yummy caramelized fruit. To read more click here.

After the last power outage Chris got me a great Lodge skillet to use on the grill for the next outage. I have never been a great cast iron user but I am determined to get better at it and this was the first recipe to try out. I may never make regular pancakes again! These were the best and so easy. They are a great little breakfast entree and I am making them if we ever have company again.

    I remember when Caleb made these a few years back and told me about them and I’d never heard of Dutch babies. I have yet to make them. We are huge fans of cast iron skillets.

      I am going to give the cast iron skillet more of a try – I think I just didn’t know how to use them correctly. These Dutch Babies are so good! And you can make a variety of fruit fillings to top them with so there can be a lot of variety. Yum.

    I haven’t made Dutch babies in years and your post made me drool for one! I had actually never eaten them until we moved to the Pacific Northwest almost 30 years ago. A friend and I had breakfast at a restaurant known for their delicious Dutch babies. I was hooked on them from then on. 🙂

      It is funny how things are regional and we don’t have any idea about them until someone shares them with us. I absolutely loved this recipe. It may become a weekend staple.
