Recipe by Emily Fine of Ingredient One
Few breakfasts are as impressive, or as easy, as a Dutch Baby Pancake. With crisp, golden edges that rise dramatically in the oven and a soft, custardy center, this simple recipe transforms a handful of everyday ingredients into something truly special.
Created by Emily Fine of Ingredient One, this Dutch Baby showcases the flavor and versatility of Roaring Fork Mill Stone-Milled All-Purpose and Spelt Flours. Freshly stone milling the grain preserves more of its natural flavor and creates a batter that bakes into a pancake with a delicate texture, rich color, and subtle nutty notes from the spelt.
One of the best things about a Dutch Baby is how easily it can become your own. Keep it classic with butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar, or dress it up with fresh berries, roasted fruit, yogurt, toasted nuts, or homemade jam. Prefer something savory? Add herbs, caramelized onions, cheese, or crispy bacon for an equally delicious meal.
Whether you're serving a leisurely weekend brunch, a holiday breakfast, or a quick weeknight breakfast-for-dinner, this recipe comes together in minutes and delivers bakery-worthy results every time.
Preparation time 10 minutes. Bake time 20 minutes.
