Dutch Baby Recipe
I love food with stories like caesar salad. Actually, what I love is not the fact that the food has a story, but that their stories are known. Otherwise, interesting or not, every dish has a story. Dutch baby doesn't have a story of emergence, but a story of naming.
The interesting thing is that the recipe is not Dutch but German. The original is said to be pfitzauf or pfannkuchen brought by the Germans who immigrated to America. This place is a bit vague, because pfitzaufe is more like pop-over and pfannkuchene is more like pancakes. But this has nothing to do with the name of the recipe. The name Deutsch which means German in German language was pronounced as Dutch by the American people who were living close to them. It's not an exciting story, but it's worth knowing.
Is Savory Dutch Baby Is a Thing?
If you like to eat waffles or pancakes with cheese or sausages, you can also serve and eat dutch baby as a savory breakfast. You can prepare the dough without adding sugar, lemon zest and vanilla.
