What is a dutch baby?

Well according to Wikipedia, a dutch baby actually isn’t dutch at all. It may be a rendition of the traditional German pancake but it actually has its origins in the United States. Well whaddaya know.

So what is it exactly? A dutch baby is a thin pancake that is like a crossover between a popover and a crepe. It is baked in a cast iron skillet and pretty mild in taste so it’s usually topped with fresh fruit and a glaze or sauce.

Dutch babies are so flexible that you could do any combination of fruit and sauce and it’ll taste good. Blackberries and whipped cream? Bananas and peanut butter? Chocolate chips and caramel sauce? Let your creativity fly!

About this caramelized peach chocolate dutch baby

For those days when cereal or toast just doesn’t cut it, there’s always dutch baby pancakes! Saving the day from blandness and general disappointment. Dutch babies are sooo easy to whip up and they take no time at all. And just LOOK at this presentation, how gorgeous? I’m thinking fancy brunch?

Typically, a dutch baby is made with a plain vanilla batter but I added cocoa to mine to make it chocolate. To top off this rich cocoa pancake base, I caramelized some peaches with brown sugar in the oven and then added a generous drizzle of melted dark chocolate.

Rich and deep cocoa. Caramelized peaches. Chocolate sauce.

This is a triple threat you guys. Go forth and jazz up your mornings.
