I had thought of making my first dutch baby when she was crowned Queen of the Netherlands, which would’ve been a nice touch since she’s from Argentina, but I completely forgot, or didn’t take into account to plan ahead, thus leaving the slot open for another time.
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 window 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, it’s about self-fulfillment, right? Let’s say the latter came in the form of a puffy pancake and a mouth full of it. The hazards of baking.
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.

September 30, 2013 at 18:27No es costumbre para nosotros comer panqueques en el desayuno los domingos, por lo menos no como lo es en USA. Pero a mi hija le encanta hacerlos para lo que llamamos la hora del lonche, o la hora del té. Nunca he probado esta versión, será motivo…me pregunto si Máxima los come 😉

September 30, 2013 at 17:34We just got back from a vacation and one morning we ate breakfast at this fabulous restaurant called 'Hole In the Wall' (which it is) in Sebastopol, California. There were several of us and we ordered a Dutch baby for the table. It was so much fun to dig in to it as a group! And now I have a recipe of my own to try! Thanks Paula, this looks amazing.

October 2, 2013 at 23:22All desserts made in a skillet have to be eaten right from it! We eat apple pancakes for dessert here, usually with rum and ice cream, but they never puff…
