One of my goto weekend breakfasts is a dutch baby. It’s like a cross between a souffle and a pancake. It’s simple and you can have it on the table in ~30 minutes.
Last week and this weekend I threw some sliced bananas into it and it’s easily 10x better. Permanent spot in the rotation now. Here’s how you make it:
Set your oven to 425ºF.
Put a big pan on the stove with 4 Tbsp (half a stick) of butter on low/medium-low heat.
While that melts, start mixing your batter. It’s super easy:
- 3 room temp eggs (pop them in hot water for a few minutes if they’re out of the fridge)
- 1/2 cup of roomish temp milk (20 seconds in the microwave if its cold)
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 Tbps of sugar
- splash of vanilla
That’s it. Just mix that up until its smooth.
Your butter should be bubbly. Slice up 2 bananas and splread them out in a single layer in the butter. Let them simmer in the butter for like 2 minutes until they’re soft and your kitchen smells amazing.
Dump the batter into the pan on top of everything. You dont need to stir or anything, just dump it in there and give it a little shake. Throw the pan into the oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, it should be puffy and golden. Drop the heat to 300 and cook for another 5minutes.
Take the pan out. The pan is going to be HOT. Leave an ovenmit on the handle so you dont accidentally grab the handle while you’re cutting it.
Cut it into quarters (or whatever you want).
Traditionally dutch babies are served with powedered sugar, syrup, lemon juice, or some combination of them. But there’s so much sweetness from the bananas that we just eat it plain.
So there you go. Easy, 30 minute breakfast that looks really complicated and impressive (seriously when you pull this thing out of the oven you’ll be shocked. It puffs up around the edges like a souffle). And it’s got some protein and fruit in it.
Enjoy!
