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.

Paula, I made this tonight and loved it! I hope you won't mind if I blog it too, with links to yours of course?!
Of course you can post it! Glad it turned out great!

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!
Oooo…I love Dutch pancakes…this one looks amazing with the white chocolate and blueberries! Just pinned it!

I noticed the same "problem", I rarely have pancake for breakfast. I am not that much of a morning person… BUT I would get up with the smell of freshly made white chocolate and blueberry pancakes. =D
