How to Make Dutch Baby German Pancake

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine in a 9-inch oven-safe skillet or pie plate. Swirl to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
  3. In a blender, combine 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
  4. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared skillet.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed and golden brown.
  6. While still in the skillet, dust with powdered sugar (optional).
  7. Cut into 4 wedges and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as lemon juice, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  8. Enjoy your delicious Dutch Baby!
