Yesterday I tried a new breakfast recipe: Dutch babies (they’re like pancakes). They passed the taste test, so I made some more this morning. I made two different kinds – one followed the recipe almost exactly; the other is a bit lighter, because that’s how I like things.
Dutch Baby Recipe – Traditional
(Bobby’s Dutch baby, recipe modified from “Edible Jersey”)
Ingredients – this serves 2; I halved it.
- 1.5 tablespoons butter
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup (almond) milk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Place empty glass pie plate or baking dish in oven to preheat. If you want, you can make individual dutch babies and use regular-size bowls.
- Mix well: eggs, milk, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
- Melt the butter right into the hot dish and pour in the batter. Sprinkle some cinnamon.
- Bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Cut into wedges. Serve immediately with syrup, butter and dinnamon, Jersey berries, or preserves… or eat it plain!
Diet Dutch Baby Recipe
(Maggie’s Dutch Baby – warning – these won’t rise as much!)
Ingredients (serves 2 – I halved it for just me)
- 1.5 tablespoons butter
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 3/4 cup rice puffs or other puff cereal (kamut puffs are always good)
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 2 teaspoons oatmeal (I used quickoats)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon + some for sprinkling
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400F and warm up the bowls inside.
- Mix together eggs, milk, puffs, flour, oatmeal, salt, and cinnamon.
- Melt the butter in the bowls and pour in the batter. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
- Bake for 15 – 20 minutes and serve with butter, cinnamon, syrup, honey, fruit, or jelly! (I had butter and honey.)
