We recently started making Dutch Babies and at first I thought it was nothing, but let me tell you, they are amazing! Not familiar with Dutch Baby? A Dutch Baby is a simple batter that is mixed together, poured into a screaming hot skillet and the bottom gets golden brown while the edges get crisp and the center is a somewhat custardy. Then you can top the dutch baby with so many flavor combinations. With this recipe you don’t have to prep the batter in the blender or even let it sit overnight. You get to mix this up in one bowl! Once your pan is heated up, it’s only a matter of minutes until you see the beautiful puff of dough rise above the skillet. Then all you have to do is place on your toppings and back into the oven until the cheese is melted. Then it’s time to enjoy!
