Dutch Babies are very quick and easy to make, and they are perfect for a small family breakfast. It takes about 5 minutes to assemble and blend the ingredients, and only 15-20 minutes to bake, during which time you can clean up and set the table. A bullet blender or other blender makes quick work of mixing, but the ingredients can be whisked by hand if you don’t have one. A cast iron pan is ideal for best results, but if one isn’t available, a good heavy skillet will do. Once added to the melted butter, the batter magically puffs and makes for a spectacular presentation.

When fresh berries are in season, Dutch babies are the perfect way to showcase them. You can use a mixture or just one kind; no matter what, they are perfectly showcased in a puffy, buttery pancake. Other times of the year, use fresh peaches, applesauce, powdered sugar, jam, or syrup. No matter what, this will become a favorite with everyone.
