    Is breakfast always the same in your house? Why not switching things up sometimes? Instead of regular “old” slices of bread or scrambled eggs – why not making a Dutch Baby with Plum Compote? It’s so easy to prepare and soooo good! I bet if you do it once, you will (want and have to) do it much more often… that’s the Dutch Baby effect ;P

    The name “Dutch Baby” suggests that the Dutch had something to do with this delicious puffed pancakes. But no. No tulip-loving person from the Netherlands was involved in creating this dish. At least as far as I know. This baby originates in the US – correct me, if I’m wrong. I read that Seattle is the birthplace of the original Dutch Baby. The idea behind these pancakes might be coming from Europe, maybe even from Germany, but these fellas are definitely American. Why the baby ended up being “Dutch”… who knows. Who cares as long as they are delicious ;P

    Anyway. These puffed-up pancakes are really extremely tasty and as already mentioned – quite easy to prepare. Dutch Babies can be made sweet, like these ones here with the plum compote, but are also wonderful to start the day savory. With some cheese and bacon, some smoked salmon and horseradish, or a fried egg on top – there are limitless options to fill you up in the morning ;)

    Even though I usually prefer my breakfast savory, I like my Dutch Babies sweet. With a nice plum compote or lemon curd, good old apples or some home-made berry compote (fruit jelly) oooor in spring maybe with some nice rhubarb compote. All simply delicious! You should really try all of the options. One after another ;)

    By the way, we always use simple cast iron skillets* to make our Dutch Babies. You can put them in the hot oven without any problems and serve them directly in the skillet. Just do not put them directly on the table and do not touch them without a kitchen towel or oven glove or you will regret it ;P

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    For the plum compote:

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Wash and dry the damson plums, pit them and cut into 4 or 6 slices each. Set aside. Add the water, sugar (or xylitol), vanilla paste, cinnamon, and the lemon peel to a small pot and bring to a boil. As soon as the sugar has dissolved, add the plums, reduce the heat and let cook until the plums are soft and the liquid has a nice red color. Mix the cornstarch with the cold water and add to the pot, continue cooking the plums until the liquid in the pot starts to thicken. Remove from the heat and let cool down, remove the lemon peel. I recommend preparing the plum compote 1-2 days in advance and storing it in the fridge.

    2. For the Dutch Baby preheat the oven to (430°F) 220°C. Place a cast-iron skillet (25cm/10 inches) in the oven and heat up as well.

    3. Add the eggs to a large bowl and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Sift the flour on top, add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt and mix until you got a nice and smooth batter – like a thin pancake batter. Set aside.

    4. Take the skillet out of the oven and place on a heatproof surface – it is very hot! Add the butter and let melt. Pour the batter quickly into the skillet and return to the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes – until puffed up and nicely browned. Take out of the oven and let cool down a bit, then dust with some confectioners’ sugar and serve with the plum compote.

    1. Für den Röster die Zwetschgen waschen, trocknen, entsteinen und dann vierteln oder sechsteln. Zur Seite stellen. Wasser, Zucker (oder Xylit), Vanillepaste, Zimt und Zitronenschale in einem kleinen Topf geben und aufkochen lassen. Sobald sich der Zucker aufgelöst hat, die Zwetschgen dazugeben, die Hitzezufuhr etwas reduzieren und dann so lange köcheln lassen, bis die Früchte teilweise anfangen zu zerfallen und die Flüssigkeit im Topf schön rot ist. Die Speisestärke mit dem Esslöffel Wasser verrühren und dann in den Topf geben – unterrühren und so lange köcheln lassen, bis die Flüssigkeit der Zwetschgen schön angedickt hat. Vom Herd ziehen und abkühlen lassen, dann die Zitronenschale entfernen. Den Zwetschgenröster macht man am besten schon 1-2 Tage vorher und lagert ihn im Kühlschrank.

    2. Für das Dutch Baby den Ofen auf 220°C (430°F) vorheizen. Eine gusseiserne Pfanne (ca. 25cm/10 Inch) mit in den Ofen stellen und ebenfalls aufheizen.

    3. Die Eier in eine große Schüssel geben und auf höchster Stufe schaumig aufschlagen. Das Mehl darüber sieben, Milch, Vanilleextrakt und Salz dazugeben und alles gut verrühren – der Teig wird recht dünnflüssig sein, das ist aber OK. Zur Seite stellen.

    4. Die Pfanne aus dem Ofen holen und auf eine hitzebeständige Unterlage stellen – Achtung: sehr heiß! Die Butter in die Pfanne geben und schmelzen lassen. Den Teig zügig in die Pfanne gießen und zurück in den Ofen stellen. Für etwa 18-20 Minuten backen – das Dutch Baby sollte schön hochgegangen sein und eine goldbraune Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen holen, etwas abkühlen lassen und dann mit Puderzucker bestäuben und mit dem Zwetschgenröster servieren.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
