What Is a Dutch Baby Pancake?<\/h2>\r\nIn essence, a Dutch baby pancake is a large, baked pancake. According to Taste Recipes<\/em> Test Kitchen's Mark Neufang<\/a>, this giant, fluffy treat got its name from German origins, rather than Dutch. As the legend goes, the name came from a historic cafe in Seattle called Manca's. The owner's daughter couldn't quite pronounce Deutsch<\/em>, the German word for German. With a slip of the tongue, Dutch <\/em>came out instead, and the rest was history.\r\n\r\nThough \"Dutch baby\" is a frequently used moniker when referring to this giant pancake, it has also been referred to as a German pancake, a puffed pancake, a baked pancake, a Bismarck and even a giant Yorkshire pudding due to its resemblance.\r\n\r\nMade from a simple mixture of eggs, salt, flour, and milk, the batter rises in a cast-iron skillet<\/a> while baking. Once it puffs up and is removed from the oven, it will deflate to create the perfect vessel to dress up with tasty toppings. The exterior is lightly crisp, while the inside of a Dutch baby is a slightly eggy, custard-like texture and flavor.\r\n\r\nAnd the best part? There's no messy flipping involved!\r\n
