Easy Dutch baby pancake recipe
This easy-to-make chocolate cherry Dutch baby pancake recipe will have you smitten from the first bite! This delightful dish is not only dairy-free, but it also comes together quickly and is made in a skillet for a hot and delicious breakfast idea. What really sets this one apart is a hint of cardamom that compliments the chocolate and cherry flavors so wonderfully. I would recommend making this for a romantic breakfast or perhaps even for Valentine’s morning, an anniversary or birthday breakfast for a chocolate lover. My recipe makes one 8-inch Dutch baby pancake.
Why do they call it a Dutch baby pancake?
Dutch pancakes originated in Germany and “German” (in the German language) is “Deutsch” and an American restaurateur kind of flobbed the name from Deutsch to Dutch and added “baby” because the version they served was smaller than the traditional 12 inch diameter typically served in Germany or the Netherlands.
What makes a Dutch baby pancake different from the traditional American pancake?
Dutch baby pancakes are thinner in the center with a high rise on the sides. They also contain more eggs which gives them a custardy texture and taste. I personally LOVE eggs, so I was very “smitten in my kitchen” the first time I tried a Dutch baby pancake. 😍
