Description
A German Pancake, also known as a Dutch Baby, is a light, oven-baked pancake with crispy edges and a custardy center. It puffs up dramatically in the oven, making it as fun to watch as it is to eat. This simple breakfast is made with pantry staples and is perfect for topping with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or syrup.
