Puffy Pancake Recipe

Oven Puffy Pancake

Does breakfast get a little monotonous at your house? This oven puffy pancake is a fun weekend breakfast that rises dramatically while baking and then settles as it cools. Kids love watching it puff up in the oven, and it's delicious topped with powdered sugar and fresh fruit.

This recipe is also known as a Dutch Baby Pancake. Every time it bakes, it creates a slightly different shape. One time it even came out looking like an octopus!

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar, for serving
Fresh fruit, for serving

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the butter in a 13x9-inch baking dish and place the dish in the oven while it preheats until the butter is melted. In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, flour, milk, and salt until smooth. Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and pour the batter over the melted butter. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the pancake to cool slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with fresh fruit before serving.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
