Dutch Baby pancakes, also known as German pancakes, are pancakes made with flour, butter, and milk that are prepared in a special pan and flipped out when ready forming a ridge that can be filled with cream cheese, fruit jams, or other fillings. If you like this style of breakfast you can easily replicate a smaller version at home by using a muffin tin.


The idea comes from household weblog Real Mom Kitchen and a recipe for the pancake mixture is at the source link below, but you can use regular pancake mix in a pinch. Just make sure that you grease the tin so the pancakes remove easily and that you only use half the amount of batter that you would with a muffin. The batter will find its way up the side of the tin and form perfect pockets. Fill with whatever sweet or savory toppings you enjoy.
