You may be asking yourself, Why would something that came out of Seattle be called aDutchbaby?

The reason I love this style of pancake so much is how fast it is.

Embrace your inner Rembrandt (see what I did there?)

and let the crisp-yet-pillowy Dutch baby be your canvas.

A Dutch baby is a perfect blank canvas for toppings of your choice.

Set the skillet in the oven to preheat for 10 minutes.

When there are about 5 minutes remaining in the preheating time, start the batter.

Blend at medium speed until smooth and filled with tiny air bubbles, 1 to 2 minutes.

Carefully pull out the oven rack so you could easily pour the batter into the middle of the pan.

Immediately after pouring, push the rack back in and exit the oven.

Bake until the center is puffy and the edges are crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.

Serve warm, straight from the pan, adorned with your toppings of choice.

Reheat on a baking sheet in a 350F oven until crisp and heated through, about 5 minutes.
