There seem to be many variations. I've only made one once and no longer know where that cookbook is, but my recipe was using blueberries.

Why "baby"?

Not a clue

This recipe is pretty close to what I grew up with, where you cook the dutch baby in the butter rather than mixing the butter into the batter. Since the first thing we did on removing from the oven was sprinkle liberally with sugar it was important that it be "wet" so that the sugar would dissolve and stick.

No idea on the "baby" part of the name. I remember I tried to find that out a couple years ago and couldn't (it is hard to filter out the Dutch baby name sites that keep coming up).

OMFGthatwasgood! (Just made one using your recipe, reduced a bit to fit my glass tart pan)

This is the first summer that I've had a desire to do anything outside in the summer besides basic yard maintenance. When it's too hot/humid to walk at 6 am, it's very frustrating.

That recipe in Australia would be called a Yorkshire Pudding and we serve it with roast beef. :eek: Obviously we don't use sugar or syrup with it when serving, we just pour gravy over it.

I see on the Wiki page it actually cross-references with "Dutch Baby Pancake" (at the bottom of the page)

That reminds me of popovers or yorkshire pudding. ( I see I'm not the only one Lash!)

I've never heard of those but I'm going to have to give them a try.

Ever made it with roast chicken? Pour out most of the drippings from the pan and proceed in the usual way. Divine.

Does it involve Dutch people having sex?
