@@rosejeldon8544 How do you make the stork come with the babies using beer or wine? I ask cause here in Denmark the stork is delivering the babies. I just never heard about storks being attracted to alcohol.
Just made one this morning and topped it with lemon curd, blueberries, and powdered sugar. My wife was uber impressed and delighted. Next one I'll skip the vanilla, add cayenne, and put in some sausage and cheese.
Dear Germans and Dutch people... This is called a "Dutch Baby" and sometimes "German Pancakes" here in the U.S.A. As far as I know it has nothing to do with Germany or the Netherlands. It was apparently invented by German immigrants who were called "Dutch" which was a corruption of the German " deutsch."
Aaaaah that makes sense. Thanks for explaining! Now I can forget about my 'I'm Dutch and have never seen these babies, what;s wrong with me?!'-thought haha
@@hansooon858 That's because it's an American invention from the early 1900s, supposedly as a variation of a pfannkuchen or eierkuchen. The name likely comes from an idiot who heard "deutsch" and thought it was "dutch", just as those of German descent living in Pennsylvania are known as "Pennsylvania Dutch".
That funny name "Dutch Babies" reminded me of a meal that used to be sold in workmen's cafes in my country -Britain. This memory is some 70 years ago! You could buy a dish of stew with a huge dumpling floating in it. A dumpling is made of raising powder - flour and suet - then boiled.in the stew. The dumpling was always referred to as a "baby's head!"
I've followed Martha Stewart, Chef Jacques Pepin Chef, and America's Test Kitchen cooks for many years with hit-or-miss results. I discovered Chef John 2 years ago. He is laid back, not stuffy or pretentious, quite funny, and you can tell he is genuinely a super nice guy. At first he may seem like one of the many online chefs. But once you actually try one of his recipes - you realize his genius - and you're hooked. Plus, you can tell from his infectious training style that he really wants to transfer his passion for delicious food - into his online students. My wife and I try his recipes on the weekends, and we are always happily amazed at how simply Chef John's culinary magic can be reproduced in an ordinary kitchen - by amateurs. He is now our favorite chef!!!
First time I've used a cast iron skillet this way and it worked for me! I tossed some blueberries and strawberry pieces in a little sugar before dropping them in. Thank you Chef John! I'm not afraid of cast iron anymore!
OMG I have made this so many times since I found the video, I LOVE IT! but... I first made this in a stainless steel pan and each time it was mostly flat... I finally got a cast iron to cook it in and wow, what a difference.
CraftCrü Dude1203 that garbage has helped changed humanity's protectors into humanity's brutalizers. It's hurting everyone. Don't let anyone ruin your nature for their wallet.
I thought everyone understood the reference Bob's Burgers made in that Xmas episode..lol.. oh well. "Linda Belcher's here to stay..I don't work here anyway , Oh my face"
"Unlike actual babies, these are not annoying to have at your table at a restaurant." Ha! I died when I heard this! As Homer Simpson says: "It's funny because it's true!"
I’m English, in England we have a day of the year called Shrove Tuesday, but more commonly known as Pancake Day. On Shrove Tuesday Christians traditionally used up any left over Eggs, Butter and Flour before Lent. If you don’t know, Lent, starting on Ash Wednesday, is the Christian Period of abstinence from Food and Festivities in the 40 Days leading up to Easter.
Mary Catherine The name has been around since the 40s, I believe from a Café in America. The Pancake is a German Pancake, and “Dutch” is a corruption of Deutsche.
These were a staple growing up in our home for both breakfast and supper. The sweet ones are tasty, but my favorite is what my mom called onion and chive. She would use onion powder in the batter and serve topped with chives, bacon, and cheese. Delicious.
I've made these for years but I slice up apples and mix with a little sugar and cinnamon. I cook in the oven with the butter for a few minutes to soften then add the pancake (which is the same) on top. You get a lovely puffy dutch baby with a sauce on the bottom.
John, you are bringing back my memories of my Nona who, though nominally Italian, cooked like her mother taught her. Her family lived in Alto Adige region of Italy which is as much Austrian as Italian. Anyway what you call Dutch Babies have been always known to me and my cousins as Nona's Pancakes. Since you asked about our variations we added a touch of almond extract as well as vanilla to the mixture. Since my grandfather was diabetic he could not have much sugar or really sweet syrups. But in the 50's Kayro white syrup was hailed as good for young children, which I and my cousin Carol were, so Nona drizzled Kayro over the Dutch Baby instead of sugar, apparently thinking it made a difference. If it's good for her sweet little angels it was good enough for a grumpy old man who constantly threatened to sell us to the gypsies. Well 70 years later when I make these I still use Kayro . Yeah I know, there are some nutritionists and doctors out there that are going to send me hate mail, but as you said it's my baby and I'll dress it like I like it.
I know I sound creepy saying this: I love hearing about the people's food histories! Whether the food tasted terrible or amazing, people always have a memory associated with food😊. Thank you for sharing your food memory!
Well....there you go.... Northern Italy. That's only 1250 miles south of the Netherlands crossing Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany and Switzerland of Austria in the proces. Dutch babies!
@@girlgonewisej You are more than welcome . If you liked the story, try the recipe with almond extract, vanilla and white Kayo syrup. That you will really love.
I make these but I use individual 6” souffle bowls and they rise up the sides of the dish and make a beautiful Dutch Baby bowl or as my daughter always called them (Puffy Pancakes) that when removed it is a perfect bowl for fresh fruit, yogurt, and any other toppings you like. We usually put an assortment of fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, toasted wheat germ, and maple syrup. Delicious and always a hit in our house.
I have been thinking about making one of these for about a whole year now and finally made one topped with good ol' maple syrup! Wow, what a great breakfast!
Ingredients for 4 small or 2 large portions: 3 large room temperature eggs 2/3 cup room temperature milk packed 1/2 cup flour (really pack the measuring cup firmly with flour) 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp salt 3 tbsp clarified butter - Bake at 425 F. 20-25 min * garnish with melted butter, fresh lemon juice (Meyer if you can find it), and powdered sugar.
Toni Aguilar you make individual servings at whatever size you desire. Often this is based on the pan size you own. Making large quantities can be challenging. Assume you need a pan for each serving, add racks to your oven and test how many pans you can fit in there. Smaller pan means more can fit but you’ll also find yourself with many additional pans for such project.
I’m with you. I like to watch cooking videos, but I just can’t stand his intonations. I’m not sure why he does that, I’d guess someone has told him how annoying that is.
Chef Jon - would you consider ever doing a Japanese fluffy pancakes video? They’re so complicated but your videos always make the tough stuff much easier!
This recipe minus the vanilla, lemon and powdered sugar and a different but essentially the same cooking method is called a Yorkshire pudding in the UK and is usually eaten on a roast dinner. :)
Ingredients: 1 male Dutch 1 female Dutch Method: Combine the male and female Dutch. This process may have to be repeated a number of times until the test results come back positive.
Lukas S I like it when the regressive left talks, they stick to their few ad homonym attacks. I don't think you got the memo, racist and xeno have lost their effectiveness, people no longer fear your brow beatings.
Omg I was just watching Bob’s burgers the other day and I heard Linda Belcher talking about a Dutch baby and she had to have one. Now a Dutch baby recommended video pops up. It’s a sign I must make this Dutch baby.
It’s this epic recipe that made me throw away my lame collection of non stick pans to invest in 3 cast iron skillets, I cherish you for this dear Chef ❤️
As a German I was so confused tbh because I have never seen anything like this here, but a trip to google taught me that it derived from a recipe of german immigrants from the 18th century. Maybe Ill just try it.
I just made this and it was so good. I did not have a cast iron skillet, however I had a stainless steel deep pan heavy bottom that is meant for the oven. I did not have enough regular white flour so I added oat flour. The ratio was probably 50/50. The rest of the recipe I followed to the exact way he shows and says on his recipe. With the exact same temperature he recommends. My apologies it was so good that we ate it all and I forgot to take a picture. LOL it was just too yummy, we ate it with a smidgen of raw cane sugar and apple slices. 🥰 Thank you so much for this recipe I will be making it again and again.
Mike Mondano then why would you question a slight change in the recipe ?? recipes are often, if not usually altered to suit your equipment, supplies and taste.. in fact, substituting and SHARING the outcomes, is a great way to make great recipes even better... or otherwise possible for those who dont have access to EXACT ingredients and tools.. also.. if we do a search for a "simple" fried eggs... we find HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of various ways of arriving at the same dish.... with only slight variations in the outcome... and lastly.. EXACT, PRECISE mesurements in recipes.. are for people who dont know how to CREATE FOOD.. they are unimaginative and inexperienced and can only follow directions... without messing up... some cant even do that!!, its like road and traffic signs... which are there for inexperienced drivers... since a good driver would INSTINCTLY know when to do what... they READ THE ROAD.. not signs....
+Andreas Hetland Haavik ..hi in my language pancake and crepe mean exactly same thing..looks like crepe and traditionally eaten with bit of butter..cinnamin sugar and rolled up in a tube sJape.. a rain day or winterday treat
Ezekiel Amaterasu ...yassss! I totally flipped out when i saw "Dutch Babies"! I LOVE "BOB'S BURGERS" too, and this one is my fav episode. Can't wait to make these!
I made a single egg pancake and used my NuWave convection oven. Done perfect in TEN MINUTES! By the way, I love a man who whose joy is fully expressed in happy tones, unlike those whose criticism reflects their own lack of joy. Keep up the good work and be blessed. And you people out there doncha know the English language is CRAZY? One word can have six different meanings! A baby pancake simple means a small and CHUBBY cake , LIKE a baby, but not made of any baby parts! Common sense has left the building and thank God for people who can still express joy!
Made this two days in a row! It’s in the oven as we speak … so so good! I’ve made these several times using other recipes , but yours was perfection 🙌🙌🙌 I used a 9x13 baking dish
My family heritage is Finnish and we grew up calling these “Pannukakku”. This is also the first time I have seen these cooked in cast iron. My grandmother always used a rectangular Pyrex dish. That said pretty much looks the same and I would bet it tastes good as well.
Quark is something like very fresh cottage cheese, but not crumbly, but creamy in texture, like a thick yoghurt - but it doesn't really taste like yoghurt, and it doesn't taste like cottage cheese either. It's just "Quark". Quark is definitely known in Central and Eastern Europe. There are many dishes using this, and people also would eat it like they'd eat yoghurt. Real German cheesecake is made with Quark.
I learned to make this in 7th grade Home EC class and been making it ever since! German pancakes! That was 25 years ago! Still have the original blue paper recipe from class😊...I use 9 eggs to make a large pan!
I had never heard of a Dutch baby until I seen Chef John's video 😳 so I made one last night..it was amazing! I made a thin cheese cake icing with lemon 😋 it was delicious!!
I don't have a cast iron pan but I still love watching you. You're always good for a laugh, and you don't mind poking fun at yourself. And I don't notice that you screw up until you tell us. I like to think that I laugh with you and not at you. Can you do a Q&A sometime? I'd like to know if Michelle likes to cook and what's her favorite dish of yours? I don't get notifications on this device so I won't know if you answer.
Yeah, when I started making a keto version of these I thought I'd be the only one eating them because my family is not on the keto diet. Next thing I knew, I was having to make two every time so that each of my family of four could have 1/2 of one.
I made this this weekend and they came out great! Exactly as pictured. Thanks Chef John. I used to have to drive an hour to the only place that offered Dutch Babies.
My mom makes this by sauteing some apples in the pan first then topping with the batter. When she takes it out of the oven she tops it with some powdered sugar. No syrup needed. So delish!
My Grandmother is 100% Dutch and learned this dish from her mother who immigrated from Holland. This remains a tradition in our family and we serve it with fresh fruit on top and syrup. So good.
@@FujishimaAkiko Well, my Grandmother, and her mother would say otherwise. Neither of them have ever been to WA and they brought it from Holland. So....
And this pancake is 100% German. Lol. Brought here by German immigrants that were mistaken for Dutch. (Deutch) I think it's popular and well known all over tho, these days.
DUTCH BABIES ! My Dad used to make these for my brother & I when we were kids..Hadn't eaten one for decades until , while passing thru London, happened upon a Flemish Restaurant.... Thank You for the Receipt !
I just made this for breakfast and I have to say that it was so much easier than traditional American pancakes and better. I served it with maple syrup and mixed berries. Delicious!
I love the Apfelpfannkuchen version. Basically it's just apples cooked in butter, a little brown sugar and cinnamon then the batter poured over the top. The rest is all the same.
Zoe Emiko Apfelpfannkuchen are NOT fatty and rich like this. We use 1 egg , up to 1l of milk and flower until it is a thick , fluid doe. Oh , and a a point of a knive, a tiny bit of salt. No vanilla chemicals or otherwise. Apfel pfannkuchen are not made in the oven. Just in a pan. Appels in with cinnamon and sugar. Some doe around it. And then bake it. When it gets stiff - turn it over : ) This simple German pancake doe kosts little, tastes great. Also without apples and with jam as a topping. Plus - you get a pile out of a liter. Less oil - they stay flatt. More oil - they fluff up more.
Nice to see this video. I have been making Dutch Babies for over 50 years, since my children love them so much. Never used a blender, just a whisk and heated the butter in the pan in the oven before adding the batter. Get this, I have 5 children, so used a larger cast iron skillet and enlarged the recipe to include 10 eggs. Love your videos
Thanks for the simple, lovely recipe, prepared it on Shrove Tuesday served with fruit salad and honey on the top. I must confess I was greedy, kept the whole to myself (made another one to my husband...😃) 🌸
Lizz Andrews OMG Lizz! Are you from England ? No one I have ever known aside from my family knows about Yorkshire Pudding? All my relatives are from England and this what what we would have with a roast, or meat at big/ special dinners. I'm amazed you said that because unless you're English, people think it's a pudding dessert. This was part of my culture. Thank you for reminding me about this.
Judy Fowler I’m not from England but I’ve been to England and one of my nieces lives in London. I enjoy traveling and learning about food from other cultures.
I enjoy your uplifting cheerful demeanor. You should be in the movies, voice-over! Your wife has a catch, a man that can cook & has a pleasant personality!
I love these. I make them when I need a comfort food. My dad had some German in his blood but it was my mom who introduced me to these. I sometimes add a pinch of cinnamon for taste.
For everyone who keeps saying "I'm Dutch/German and I've never heard of these," it's because these were invented in the United States in the early 1900s. That said, my grandma used to make these for us when she'd visit, and it was like one of the two recipes she could actually make well.
Well, folks here is a method so much simpler... Put the skillet into cold oven and heat to 475.. when ready bring it out an and 3 tbs of butter .. swirle, till melted ... pour in the batter, place in oven and turn the heat to 425.... no need to heat the skillet on the stove as you have NO idea what the temp is. No need to clarified butter... I haven't figure out why in the first place... Just say'n
In Canada, stemming from German roots, we have something similar called Elephant Ears or Beaver Tails. You can usually find them at community gatherings and fairs, often next to the homemade perogies. The difference here is we leave them to fry and then flip them so the other side fries too. And we top them with powdered sugar, corn/maple syrup, and chokecherry jam. YUM!!
1:04 LMAO I was not ready to laugh that hard😂😂 his voice and tone remind me of a cute hippy English teacher I had. He was a sweet old guy, life is good!
OMG! Do you love these or what?!? You betcha! I'd forgotten how much I love these so will just HAVE to make one for my hunkahunkaburninlove for breakfast. Because of you love will once again triumph 😻
Hehe aww, I love how you refer to your SO. :p This definitely is a favorite in my home, it's hard to get my bear of a hubby out of bed in the mornings but the smell of these things cooking does the job!
We have made these for years. They are great. We eat them with fresh sliced strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and your favorite yogurt on top too. Thanks for the video.
Weird that they call it "German Pancakes". In Germany we usually make pancakes somewhat like a slightly thicker crepe (not nearly as thick as American pancakes though). I am seeing this "Dutch Baby" the first time, never heard of this before. Though I am from the south (bavaria), maybe this is more common in the northwest close to the Dutch border...
I love these. We have a restaurant in Minnesota called the Pannekoeken House. I love it. They served right in the cast iron pan with any topping you choose. I always had apple. I haven’t been for many years. It’s in St Louis Park.
Thank you very much for this recipe. I made it for my one children this morning. She loves Dutch babies… I added fresh strawberries from our garden and maple syrup 🇨🇦…. She ate the whole baby, then sent pics to our neighbours son.😂🤣😂🤣☕️🌹💕. Your recipe is the easiest and best.💕🌹🍷
