✨DUTCH BABY✨ but make it sourdough! #fyp #sourdough #homemade #dutchbaby #viral

Milk: This helps everything blend together and will keep the batter nice and smooth. Also adds protein and calcium.

Flour: Will help hold it all together.

Eggs: Are the reason you get a big rise and custard center.

Salt (celtic salt is what I use): Enhances the rich flavor while helping your body balance fluid levels.

Vanilla: Adds a little sweetness to the flavor.

Butter: Adds the deep buttery flavor while helping the edges get nice and crispy. Its the star of the show!

Sourdough (if used): May effect the rise of the Dutch Baby but will breakdown the gluten in the flour.

Dutch Baby Pancakes

Print Recipe

This Dutch Baby is a simple, buttery oven pancake with crisp golden edges and a soft, custardy center. It’s made with pantry staples, and feels special but couldn’t be easier. Add a little sourdough starter for extra flavor and a cozy twist.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 Slices

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 4 tablespoons Butter

Optional Sourdough Version:

  • 100–200g active or discard sourdough starter

  • 1–3 tablespoons extra milk (as needed)

  • 1–3 tablespoons extra flour (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  2. Place a 9×12 baking dish in the oven with the 4 tablespoons of butter. Let the butter melt and the pan get hot while you prepare the batter.

  3. In a blender (or whisk bowl), combine:

    • Eggs

    • Milk

    • Flour

    • Vanilla

    • Salt

    Blend or whisk until completely smooth.

  4. If using sourdough:
    Add 100–200g starter and blend again.
    Add a small splash of milk and a little extra flour if the batter feels too thick.
    (Note: It won’t rise quite as dramatically with sourdough — that’s normal.)

  5. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and immediately pour the batter over the melted butter.

  6. Bake for 15–17 minutes. Do not open the oven while baking.

  1. Remove and serve immediately — it will deflate slightly as it cools.
