Savory Dutch Baby Pancake
Save RecipeHi Bold Bakers!
Breakfast being the most important meal of the day means there should be no scrimping. Sure, cereal is a go-to for busy mornings when you are running late but how about those weekend days when you don’t have to rush and can take the time to make something special? That’s where my Dutch Baby Pancake comes in. Also, since today is Pancake Tuesday (aka Fat Tuesday) this recipe is perfect timing.
A Dutch Baby is what you would get it you mix a pancake with a popover. It’s puffy, light and full of flavor. They are most commonly served as a sweet breakfast but they are equally good as a savory dish.
Once you make your Dutch Baby Pancake you can top it with any of your favorite ingredients. Personally, my go-to breakfast includes smoked salmon so I decorated my Dutch Baby with salmon, avocado and creme fraiche. What are your favorite flavors? Are you partial to eggs and ham or bacon and spinach? You can get creative with your toppings. As my mother would say “paper never refused ink,” meaning put whatever you want on there.
When making the batter you want to whip up your eggs well. I did this using my KitchenAid Ultra Power Hand Mixer. It is powerful and gives you light, fluffy eggs that you are looking for.
Dutch Babies are traditionally baked in a cast iron skillet. I used my well-seasoned Lodge Cast Iron Skillet. If you want one cast iron skillet to last you a lifetime then this is it.
If you like to prepare your meals ahead of time then make the Dutch Baby batter up the night before then when you wake up pop it into the oven for an impressive and best of all, stress-free breakfast.
I served my Dutch Baby on a beautiful Tag Turquoise Sonoma Salad Plate. I loved the color and the fact that they are really durable.

For your Dutch Baby recipe, would you seperate the eggs and whip the whites then fold in the yokes? Or just use a hand mixer for all the eggs together? Also, could you add flavoring, like extracts or squeezed lemon straight to the mix before baking?
Hi there,
The recipe is here (https://theinspiredhome.com/articles/savory-dutch-baby-pancake?utm_source=Social&utm_campaign=Gemma%20S&utm_medium=Contributor).
I generally whip up the eggs, all together, until they are a thick foam, souffle like. stream in the milk and melted butter and barely whisk in the dry ingredients. If you wish you can add lemon zest to flavor this, and it would be very good, but the lemon juice would be lost, the flavor is all in the zest.
I hope you enjoy this recipe, let us see the results!

I love Dutch babies keep saying gonna do savory but we end up doing sweet lol I take blue berries Nd cook them down a bit then put on the dutchbaby
hi Vickie,
I can see nothing wrong with that! Blueberries reall change their flavor when they are warmed, delicious.

Hi guys,
This recipe was published by me on The Inspired Home website. The video is here on my own, but the recipe is here (https://theinspiredhome.com/articles/savory-dutch-baby-pancake?utm_source=Social&utm_campaign=Gemma%20S&utm_medium=Contributor) there is a link to this on the post.
Sorry for the confusion,
Gemma 🙂
Hello,
Can you tell me if you use salted butter or unsalted butter in your recipe generally? I imagine that it depends so… I don’t know which kind of butter I need to use. I tried one of your pancake recipe and it was too salty (but delicious ^^)
Thanks,
Mélusine 🙂
Hi Melusine,
I always use salted butter and I don’t alter the amount of salt. It’s just what I do 🙂
I ate a bunch of words in the comment cuz I was so excited while writing it..my apologies
Hi gemma,
Yesterday me and my friends a whole lot of pancakes…literally every kind ever [except the pork one] and I couldn’t believe each one of them tasted perfect…my friends had a great time because you..and literally every recipe we followed, turned out just like yours….my mom couldn’t believe we make such variety…….we actually decided we are gonna do this again except we’ll make cheesecakes that time….
Thank you so so much!!
Hope I don’t sound too weird
Ps: could you please please give me a nutella cheesecake recipe?!
Well Vanisha, it does sound like you had fun, and that you have a great Mom, who was there to guide you.
There is a microwave Nutella Cheesecake recipe here (https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/microwave-cheesecakes/), this may be a good place to start!
I will add your request ot my list, thank you,
Gemma 🙂
Hi Gemma , a very very good good, morning
Today I am going to give you a surprise!
Last night me and some of my cousins junior group of cooking who like your recipes very much celebrated a bread day,
And we made many of the breads you make
churros, croissants, empanadas, , cinnamon roles, pizzas scones, irish sones, and beignets!
We had invited our whole family for the feast
The deities were all fat
Our mummies had gone all mad
but they were happy at last
I have put a collage on the photo section up there. Please see it
Hi there Nabeel,
This sounds like so much fun. I checked the photos, but I am not sure they were there, but perhaps under all of the names, there were some really great photos today.
What makes me so happy is that you guys had fun, and your mummies were proud, and happy. that is what life should be all about.
Thank you for letting me know,
Gemma 🙂
