Finally nailed my Dutch babies
(lemmy.world)
I’m Dutch, I have no idea what a “Dutch baby” is… Can someone enlighten me please?
On a sidenote (and assuming you are based in the USA), we have the delicious filet americain (“American filet”), which does not have anything to do with America. If a Dutch baby is some kind of bread, perhaps try some American filet on it 🙂
Another confused dutchie here, this might be one of those time where dutch actually ment deutsch way back in the (murican) day. From the english Wikipedia (this article does not exist in dutch):
A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake,[1] a Bismarck, a Dutch puff, Hooligan, or a Hootenanny,[2][3] is a dish that is similar to a large Yorkshire pudding.[4]
Unlike most pancakes, Dutch babies are baked in the oven, rather than being fried. They are generally thicker than most pancakes and contain no chemical leavening ingredients such as baking powder.
They can be sweet or savory[5] and can be served at any meal.[6][7]
The idea of a Dutch baby pancake may have been derived from the German Pfannkuchen, but the current form originated in the US in the early 1900s.[8][9][10][11]
Hallo vriend! (Thanks Google translate)
This is exactly right. It's a large, semi sweet pancake that people often serve with syrup, compote, or other toppings. I have no idea why it's called a "Dutch Baby" though!
Congrats on the twins
Based on the title you are now on a list
