I made this for breakfast this morning and it was delicious! Hubby loved it, my 2 year old had a 2nd helping. Next time I might serve it with the Coconut Syrup from thesisterscafe.blogspot.com (it is SO good). We served it with homemade strawberry jam since I didn’t have any fresh or frozen fruit. It was awesome! Thanks.

Thank you so much! I was looking for puffy pancakes my mom use to make for me when I was little that she always added lemon and powder sugar to, and this is where it took me. I just finished making them and they were just like I remembered, without the lemon juice, I was out. But still amazing and easy to make. My grandma loved them too!

I just made this for dinner and it got rave reviews from the husband and kids and of course I loved it! It’s a new favorite for us:) Thanks again for sharing the recipe, I had never heard of it.

This has become our family’s birthday breakfast! I made it right after you posted it for my 10 year old’s birthday. Today is my 6yo’s birthday and she requested it. She loves it with choc chips, but my oldest and I love the lemon juice, strawberries and powdered sugar!!! mmmmmm thanks for another yummy one!

Looks like a Yorkshire Pudding – but that wouldn’t have the vanilla. It would be served with gravy and roast beef for a traditional Sunday dinner.
Sweet or savory – yum!

This is my boys favorite. I love how many names there are for this. Ours is Hootenanny Hotcakes.

We LOVE these at our house! I used to have a recipe for apple raisin sauce that was delicious on it but my then 3 year old son tossed my favorite cookbook in the trash without me knowing and well, no yummy sauce since then! Now we eat them with fruit, just powdered sugar or jam or even just plain.

We tried it today with 1/4 cup butter — worked great!

I made this recipe this morning for a special breakfast before church . . . hubby and boys looked doubtfully at the pan, but went ahead and fixed a piece . . . and loved it!! They had it with maple syrup. I stuck with strawberries, but had to add the sugar on top . . . with no sugar in the batter, you can’t really eat this pancake plain!

Melody,

I don’t think this recipe would translate well to a microwave – good luck with that microwave cooking!!

I’m living in a sparse environment this summer – only a fridge and microwave. Scrambled eggs do very well in the microwave. Does anyone have any experience with this recipe in a microwave? I am trying to expand my gourmet repertoire within my appliance limitations! Thanks!

My three year old and I made this for breakfast for the family. Everyone loved it! We topped with powdered sugar and a homemade strawberry syrup. Yum!

This is yummy! I just made it for breakfast, and even though my son looked at it a little nervously, after one bite he said, “can you make this for breakfast on Monday, mom?” Thanks for sharing!

My favorite way to eat a Dutch Baby is to go to the Original House of Pancakes where they serve butter, lemon wedges and powdered sugar to go on top!

Thanks for sharing. . . .What great ideas you share with us. My Michelle’s mother-in-law recently did these for a fancy BD breakfast for Michelle and had all sorts of fruit for toppings, served them on fancy plates and did small individual ones in the oven. THANKS!

what an easy recipe. we have never had it before, BUT it is in the oven RIGHT NOW (while a fritata cooks on the stove top) what an easy and delicious dinner this will be! thanks.

I love the idea of making individual little puff up pan cakes – fun! Will definitely be trying it next time.

Syrup is also great on it and Connie’s apple syrup sounds wonderful.

Nancy – yes you could probably easily cut the butter down to 1/2 of a stick/cube of butter (1/4 Cup) The original recipe called for 1/3 – 1/2 cup of butter and I always just throw the whole stick in!
Thanks for sharing everyone

We LOVE these at our house, and serve them with Apple Syrup. Here’s the recipe if you want to try it:

1 Cup Sugar
2 TBSP. Cornstarch
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg

In a saucepan whisk the above together, then add:

2 Cups Apple Cider
2 TBSP Lemon Juice

Cook on medium heat until thickened. Add 1/4 Cup Butter. Serve over warm pancakes.

I love Monica’s idea of using a muffin pan! This is one of my husband John’s favorite things to make, as well. It presents dramatically, is tasty and can be made as individual servings by using glass pie pans. 6 will fit easily in the oven at a time.

I’ve heard them called Dutch Baby as well–no clue why! It looks like something I’d actually be not scared to tackle! (love to cook, but long recipes and/or yeast overwhelm me!)

We have to be careful of cholesterol at our house, and a whole cube of butter seems frightening! Could I make it with less? What would happen if I used 1/4 cup or less?

I have a really good recipe for a peach and pecan german pancake. I love it with maple syrup!
