These fluffy, oven-baked delights are a cross between a pancake and a popover, boasting a golden exterior and a light, airy interior. The best part? They are incredibly versatile and can be paired with a variety of toppings. In this recipe, I will guide you through creating the perfect Dutch Baby Pancakes and suggest a delectable topping that will take them to the next level – roasted plums.
INGREDIENTS
10 g butter
1 large egg
50 ml single cream
60 ml milk
65 ml plain flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
METHOD
1. Preheat your oven to 200ºC (392ºF) and place a baking sheet inside to heat up. This will ensure that the Dutch Baby Pancakes cook evenly and develop a beautiful golden colour.
2. In a 15cm iron frying pan, melt the butter over low heat until it turns a nutty brown colour. This step adds a rich, caramelized flavour to the pancakes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the pancake batter by whisking together the egg, single cream, milk, and plain flour in a jug until completely smooth. The key to a fluffy Dutch Baby Pancake is ensuring there are no lumps in the batter.
4. Pour the batter into the iron frying pan with the melted and browned butter. The butter will create a sizzling effect as the batter hits the pan, resulting in a beautifully puffed pancake.
5. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the pancake is golden and puffed. The Dutch Baby Pancake will rise dramatically in the oven, creating a show-stopping presentation.
6. Once the pancake is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it on top of the pancake, adding a delightful sweetness and warm spice.
7. Now, here comes the ultimate topping suggestion – roasted plums! Take the roasted plums from THIS RECIPE and place them atop the Dutch Baby Pancake. The combination of the fluffy pancake, the caramelized plums, and the aromatic cinnamon will create a breakfast experience like no other.
