A Dutch Baby is a pancake, often baked in a cast-iron skillet or a baking dish. They are a fluffy, light, and flavorful variation of a pancake. Once baked, they puff up like a souffle, and the sides are slightly crispy while the center remains soft. The dish originated in America, and its name refers to the German pancake, brought to America by early European settlers. Dutch Babies are often served with powdered sugar, fresh berries, fruit preserves, maple syrup, or whipped cream. They are perfect for weekend breakfasts or brunch, and loved by kids and adults alike.
