We love Dutch babies! Thanks for reminding me - we'll have to have them soon. I sprinkle mine with powdered sugar and fresh squeezed lemon juice along with the syrup.

We also love Dutch Babies. Sometimes we'll top it with a can of pie filling - apple, cherry, or blueberry.

I have to tell on DH. One weekend we decided to have Dutch Babies. He called a friend to see if she and her kids wanted to join us- unfortunately he dialed a wrong number. I don't know what that poor woman thought. First thing after she said hello, DH asked "Do you want to come over for Dutch Babies?" She just hung up without a word. Thank goodness this was before caller-id.

Pum, I have never heard of Dutch Babies either...I would also like to know what these are in relation too! LOL

It sounds like they are similar to German pancakes. I make a version of these that are baked in individual pans and have apples in them. MMMM!

Dutch Babies are a puffy 'pancake' that bakes in the oven. Since there isn't any chemical (i.e. baking soda or powder) leavening, it rises because of the air beaten into the batter (we use a blender to make the batter – I think our recipe is smaller). Anyway, it collapses in the center leaving a puffy edge.
