Two slices of dutch baby pancake with syrup on a plate.

Cast Iron Dutch Baby

Kate Schat
Growing up, Big Dutch Babies (also called a German Pancake) were a Christmas morning treat. They're full of healthy fats and eggs and reheat very well. We enjoy it with maple syrup, but my sister likes to warm applesauce and honey together to serve on hers.
