Pumpkin Dutch Baby Pancake

Pumpkin Dutch Baby Pancake

Do you need a quick and delicious idea for breakfast? This German pancake best known as Dutch Baby, enriched with pumpkin puree and seasonal flavors is perfect for this time of the year. 

 

All you need is an iron cast skillet. Make it hot before adding the batter to ensure it gets crispy at the edges but still soft in the inside. 

 

This is really easy, takes only few minutes to prepare and you got a delicious breakfast that you can serve with toasted walnuts, pecans, honey, maple syrup or whipped cream. 

For a classic dutch baby pancake just remove the pumpkin puree and spices from the ingredients list. The classic version will be more puffed than the pumkin one. Serve with fresh berries and maple syrup.
