Recipe steps

Prepare the batter

In a blender or with an electric whisk, mix the flour, milk, eggs and salt until you get a perfectly smooth batter.

Start cooking the Dutch Baby

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 23x23 cm or 28 cm baking dish. Pour the batter into the buttered dish and bake for 20 minutes.

Prepare the sausages

Cut the pears into 1 cm thick slices and sauté them in butter for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.

Caramelize the pears

Empty the fat from the pan and add 1 tablespoon of butter.

Tips and variations

  • Always choose ripe pears so they caramelize perfectly.
  • The Dutch Baby deflates quickly once removed from the oven, that’s normal! Serve it immediately for the spectacular effect.
  • You can add sausages or grilled bacon for a sweet and savory version

Anti-waste tips

Don’t throw away pear peels!

You can for example:

  • Steep them in hot water with cinnamon for a fragrant herbal tea
  • Add them to your compost to nourish the soil
  • Dry them and use them as healthy chips for kids
