These Easy Mini Dutch Baby Pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic Dutch baby, creating individual-sized puffy pancakes that are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole or 2% milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Baking:

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into 12 pieces)

To Serve:

  • Powdered sugar or jam (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven & Muffin Pan: Arrange a rack in the center of your oven, ensuring no rack is directly above it. Place a standard 12-well muffin pan on this rack and heat your oven to 425ºF. Preheating both the oven and muffin pan helps create crisp edges on the pancakes.
  2. Prepare the Batter: Add the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt into a blender or food processor equipped with the blade attachment. Blend on high for 1 minute until smooth and liquid. Leave the batter to rest in the blender for 10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate and bubbles to subside. Meanwhile, cut the unsalted butter into 12 even pieces to be ready for the next step.
  3. Butter the Muffin Pan: Carefully remove the preheated muffin pan from the oven (it will be very hot!). Place one piece of butter into each muffin well; the butter will start to melt and sizzle immediately, helping to prevent sticking and contribute flavor.
  4. Fill the Pan: Pour the rested batter evenly into the muffin tin, about 1/3 cup per well. Don’t worry if the butter isn’t fully melted; it will melt around the batter as it bakes.
  5. Bake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the Dutch babies are puffed up, golden, and the edges look crisp.
  6. Serve: Let the pancakes cool in the pan for about 1 minute, then remove them. Dust with powdered sugar or fill with your favorite jam before serving for a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • Be careful when handling the hot muffin pan.
  • These mini Dutch babies are best served fresh and warm.
