One large, light, airy dutch baby pancake is easy to create on a warm summer morning, but still delicious with caramelized summer peaches.
By Mary Ann Dwyer
During warm summer mornings, instead of slaving over a hot griddle flipping, flipping, and flipping pancake after pancake I suggest you try this incredibly impressive Caramelized Peach Dutch Baby Pancake! A Dutch baby, otherwise known as a German pancake, a Dutch puff or a Bismarck is a cross between a popover and a pancake. A Dutch baby is generally served for breakfast but can also be served for dessert. You can serve it up with powdered sugar, syrup, fresh squeezed lemon juice or fruit toppings.
It’s really quite simple to make. It’s light, airy and eggy and I thought it would be just perfect to serve with some caramelized peaches.
If you’re up for the challenge of pancakes, make these Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes and celebrate summer’s berries.
