    White Chocolate Blueberry Pancake

    Jump to Recipe

    I decided I would make a dutch baby for the first time, and somehow ended up with this wonderfully sweet and creamy white chocolate pancake with blueberries. In a cast-iron skillet, of course. 

    Cast iron skillet with baked blueberry pancake, almonds on top, a kitchen towel.

    I don't have a lot of pancake recipes in this blog, but the ones that make it are really good. 

    So this blueberry dutch pancake is out of the ordinary for me.

    There's something magical about taking a dutch pancake out of the oven, all puffed and majestic. It deflates pretty quickly, like the popovers, but it's a great dish for brunch or breakfast.

    What is it about a pancake baked in the oven that's so appealing? That it puffs so much?

    Probably, because it’s like a giant thick popover that bubbles up and cracks, leaving the baker with just a few minutes to admire it in all its height before poof! it’s completely flat and ordinary looking.

    That kinda makes the baker the only one admiring the work. But hey, life is not only about praise, but it’s also about self-fulfillment. Let’s say the latter came in the form of a puffy pancake and a mouth full of it.

    The hazards of baking.

    Tips for making this recipe.

    • Oven - have it preheated, otherwise, the pancake will not rise as it should.
    • Skillet - I use cast iron, but you can use your favorite non-stick one. Beware that they are very heavy and that you will need kitchen towels to take it out of the oven. It will be piping hot!
    • Chocolate - this recipe calls for white, but use dark if that's your jam or if you don't like very sweet pancakes. 
    • Blueberries - fresh or frozen, both work. Raspberries are good also.

    This is more of a dessert than a breakfast, in my opinion. Unless you like sweet things in the morning. 

    Quite sweet. But hey, dessert is dessert, meant to be sweet and filling, and a hot skillet makes it ideal to plunge the spoons directly and eat from it, no plates necessary and one less pile of dishes to wash.

      This just looks so good! I have yet to make a Dutch baby and filling it with blueberries is fabulous... just because it does puff up and make one big huge puffy pancake!

      That looks wonderful Paula, would it be possible to use baking pan instead of skillet?

        I guess you could. Just make sure it's preheated in the oven first. It should be very hot before you pour the mixture in. Good luck Jeannie!
