What's a Dutch Baby?

A combination of a popover and a crepe, Dutch Baby or German pancakes can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dessert, and even made savory for a delightful savory supper.

One savory application is Yorkshire pudding, the recipe is baked individually in roast beef drippings and served during the holidays. The versatility of this dish is endless and has proved to be one of my most award-winning recipes. See stories below.

History

According to Sunset magazine, Dutch babies were introduced in the first half of the 1900s at Manca's Cafe, a family-run restaurant that was located in Seattle, Washington owned by Victor Manca. While these pancakes are derived from the German pancake dish, it is said that the name Dutch baby was coined by one of Victor Manca's daughters, where "Dutch" perhaps was her pronunciation of the German deutsch. Manca's Cafe claimed that it owned the trademark for Dutch babies in 1942.

Raspberry Blueberry Pomegranate

I've added fresh raspberries, blueberries, and ruby-red pomegranate seeds (known as arils) but any variation of fresh fruit or jam will do. I've garnished the pancakes with lemon slices and served them with buttery pomegranate syrup. The combination is out of this world.

Award Winning Dutch Baby

My recipe for dutch baby pancakes has earned me over 14K in cash and prizes over the years. My first win utilizing the dutch baby base recipe was in 2015 at my very first large-scale competition, the World Food Championships, held in Kissimmee, Florida. I placed 4th in the world with the help of my first-round dish, Blackberry Hoisin Bacon Dutch Baby. This savory-sweet pancake was a huge hit with the judges.

My next big win with my dutch baby recipe was in 2017 at the World Food Championships, held in Orange Beach, Alabama with my Dutch Crunch Pancakes with Peachy Pecan. I won the title of Bacon World Champion 10K in cash and prizes and a trip to the Final Table, held in Bentonville, Arkansas where I placed 8th among the Top Ten World division winners. Needless to say, dutch. baby pancakes are very near and dear to my heart! I hope you enjoy my recipe as much as I do.
