For the (Dutch) people wondering why the pancake is called 'Dutch Baby Pancake' It has nothing to do with The Netherlands. So it's not weird that you've never had this dish, I haven't had it myself either having lived in The Netherlands since I was 11 months. Assuming Wikipedia is right, which it is not 100% of the time, ''Dutch'' refers to the group of German-American immigrants known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, where "Dutch" is a corruption of the German antonym *Deutsch*. Victor Manca was the owner of the restaurants where ''Dutch babies'' were introduced in the first half of the 1900s. It is said that the name ''Dutch baby'' was coined by one of Victor Manca's daughters.
Time to introduce the 'Pancake Sunday' in our shared house. Every Sunday a different pancake recipe from around the world. This might be the first one. Yummmm.
Well, pancakes are always the best idea ;-) Looking forward to more yummy pancake recipes from you guys. If I ever try a phenomenal one, I'll definitely let you know.
I got all excited thinking you guys were making poffertjes, then got disappointed but then got excited (and very hungry) again because this looks delicious!
I'm Dutch but this is completely new to me (at first I thought that you might be making poffertjes, which are tiny, cookie-sized puffy pancakes), maybe it's from the pensylvanian Dutch (which are actually German, but the German word for German is Deutsch, which is very similar to Dutch and thus caused confusion and therefore resulted in this wrong name; this would also explain why they're sometimes called German pancakes)
Dish is from the american "Pennsylvania Dutch", who are actually of German descent (confusion of _Deutsch_ and _Dutch_). So yeah, not technically a German or Dutch recipe, but rather from a distinct american cultural group. I feel like Ben knows this, but we didn't get to hear him explain it because it's "too geeky."
James Pawson The Pennsylvania Dutch are Germans and they brought many dishes from Germany with them when they emigrated, including this variety of German Pancake.
I'm gonna start making my own desserts tired of running around NYC looking for good pastries n desserts. This is something that I need in my life, maybe it will sooth the anxiety n depp. I've been experiencing lately, thanks guys!
+Arwa Sawliwala I tried honey for my Lemon Tart (less complicated than this recipe ) and it worked just fine. It was the same flavor but I'm not the best judge because I don't like vanilla anyways.
if the problem is that you don't have any or you don't like the flavour, you could just leave it out completely. it wouldn't ruin the overall flavour at all.
I'm from Germany and I never saw this before :D Though my neighbour used to make (and give us) something similar, but I'm not sure wether it was just pancake batter, or your version...
I've noticed you guys have been making international dishes (adobo and this!) maybe you guys could make an 'Around The World' series where you guys make dishes from around the world!! I think it would be great. Aye aye 😉😉
I guess the German comes from the batter since it is the recipe for pancakes I know from home! But my mom used to only put in a pinch salt into the batter, then you get really thin Pancakes and we add jam or Nutella On the pancake and then roll it up and eat it like that, or if it's extra fancy a bit of sugar and cinnamon on top of the rolled up pancake
you can use a ceramic baking form or a regular frying pan, the cast iron just keeps the heat better) when you do a standard dutch baby pancake, you preheat the frying pan in the oven, then melt a nice chunk of butter in it and pour in the mixture at once) hope that helps)
I made it once in a stainless steel frying pan (because it's the only one I have without a plastic handle and could go in the oven) and it worked just fine.
In my family we make the pancakes with yogurt and water, not with milk. we mix yogurt and water and that substitutes the milk. because of the acidity of the yogurt the pancakes get fluffier :)
it is satisfying to peel apple skin all in 1 piece until it breaks, then all your hopes and dreams comes crashing down [me, all.the.damn.time] thanks for reminding me of my dark days 😭
Old wives tale- When you manage to get an apple to peel in one long ribbon, you should throw it over your shoulder, and when it lands on the floor it will be in the shape of the first letter of your soulmates name!
Difference between regular and castor sugar? silly question I know but I haven't been able to grasp the concept..like can one of them be used in place of another or they are there for a specific purpose.
Not completely, castor sugar is smaller grains then regular sugar. In the US it's usually sold as "superfine" or "Bakers" sugar but can also just be blitzed up in the food processor from regular sugar. For most cases you can just use regular sugar of course but for caramels etc it's nice to use superfine if you're able to.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the netherlands, but it does look absolutely amazing! To be honest it kinda looks like a baby austrian kaiserschmarn beforeyou make it into little pieces.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Dutch part comes from the fact that the apples are put in first but end up on the top, kinda like how with a Dutch apple cake, you put the apples in the base of the tin then put the mixture on top but then when you turn it out the apples are on the top no bottom. So I think that's why it's 'dutch' cos the apple ends up on top :) might be wrong but I think that's why
I just made this, and the caramel just exploded when pouring the cream in. The cooker is a bloody mess (not literally) but the little that's still left in the saucepan is lovely. What went wrong? I followed the instructions.
tried it and loved it! But would be nice if your recipes on your site would include cup mesurements and farenheit temperatures as well :) otherwise love your site and the recipes you share.
There used to be a restaurant that specialized in these. Both sweet and savory kind. It was called Pannekoeken Huis I’m not sure about the spelling but it’s gone now 😢 The servers would run from the kitchen to get them to your table before they sunk in the center!
When you caramelizing the apples , you fry it in one side , then FLIP it like a burger and sprinkle sugar to the other side ? The that is facing you , the one that has been caramelized before ?
It's actually American, and is derived from German Pancakes (Pfannkuchen, which I believe are very similar to your pannenkoeken). The "Dutch" refers to German-American immigrants known as "Pennsylvania Dutch". Oddly, I believe that Dutch babies were first created in Seattle, Washington in the early 1900's, and don't really have any ties to the immigrants they were named after.
jacksquat3 Some idiot on Wikipedia claimed to invent them in Cali, but they've been around much longer than that. They are not an American invention. The came here with German immigrants. Is anybody dumb enough to believe these things which are strikingly similar to certain kinds of German pancakes were a random American invention and the similarity to those German (Deutsche) pancakes was a total coincidence? It's ridiculous. Apfelpfannkuchen and ofenpfannkuchen are made similarly. Some German people still make them.
Am I the only one that was impressed by the apple peeling??
It's the little things that matter in life!
I thought it was awesome. With a steady hand and consistent pressure, it is possible!
+SORTEDfood my dad has an awesome recipe for a German pancakes of your interested. also if you are how can I send you the recipe?
oh me 2
I love it when I peel it at once, it's even more satisfying with a small knife :D

Thanks
No problem!
That makes more sense. I was very confused.
I believe this also relates to dutch oven cooking--not true to Dutch people. I'm part Pennsylvania Dutch!
Wolfpack Adam I guess that it is definitely related one way or another
I dont actually make any of these desserts. I just come here to salivate at the videos and imagine that I am actually eating them lol.
No shame in that 😂😂
I thought I was the only one!😂😂
Ikr
Noyonika Bagchi
We should start a RUclips Dessert Recipe Addicts Anonymous club. lol
You are not alone!!

So wait, you DON'T need dutch babies for this recipe?
Ha... I knew that...
*Trying to hide fifteen crying babies behind my back*
I'm Dutch but this is completely new to me (at first I thought that you might be making poffertjes, which are tiny, cookie-sized puffy pancakes),
maybe it's from the pensylvanian Dutch (which are actually German, but the German word for German is Deutsch, which is very similar to Dutch and thus caused confusion and therefore resulted in this wrong name; this would also explain why they're sometimes called German pancakes)
I'm with you Ben - I completely understand the satisfaction of the perfect apple peel....
WHERE WAS THE SPRIG OF MINT BEN??
YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US!!
😂😂😂
I like how you specifically made an individual Dutch Baby pancake but still there were four people crowing around the pan to eat.
'Something very satisfying about peeling an apple'
Ben = Ramsay confirmed
Mike is hilarious. regular eating apples indeed
Lmao I was wondering what other apples he was talking about
Jamie is so flabbergasted at hearing that they are also called German pancake! LOL it is so funny!
You should make some poffertjes some time for all the disappointed Dutch people ;)
Or Engelse drop to dissapoint english people
yesss poffertjes 😍
Haha but Ben you didn't write "Salted caramel" in the title :P
Dish is from the american "Pennsylvania Dutch", who are actually of German descent (confusion of _Deutsch_ and _Dutch_). So yeah, not technically a German or Dutch recipe, but rather from a distinct american cultural group. I feel like Ben knows this, but we didn't get to hear him explain it because it's "too geeky."

I need more dutch baby recipes in my life!
My goodness, that looks fantastic! Gotta cook this in the future.
I saw the title and became curious about the Dutch aspect, turns out it is not in anyway a Dutch dish...
ikr
same haha
It doesn't seem German either :D
same haha. I was like: I'm Dutch and I've never heard of this dish. This should be interesting ^^
I know right! When I saw the title I thought this would be a recipe for the Dutch "poffertjes". I would like to see that on their channel tho..
any substitutes for Vanilla Extract? Will surely try the Sorted Caramel at home.☺
Vanilla essence also works... more 'vanilla-flavoured' rather than actual vanilla.
+SORTEDfood thnx also why is vanilla extract more preferred in chocolates rather than the other choice.
+Arwa Sawliwala I tried honey for my Lemon Tart (less complicated than this recipe ) and it worked just fine. It was the same flavor but I'm not the best judge because I don't like vanilla anyways.
if the problem is that you don't have any or you don't like the flavour, you could just leave it out completely. it wouldn't ruin the overall flavour at all.
thnx everyone for the help.😊
I'm ill right now but still had to watch this and honestly I think my appetite is back
Get well soon 😊
Shenita P. thank you v much :)
***** ah that's horrible!! hope you're okay!
I love how these guys take our opinions into consideration!! X
Yummy!! 😋 Lol and I agree. There is something really satisfying about being able to peel the apple and get one long ribbon. I feel so accomplished 😂
Thank you soooo much for this video, i had asked for this a few months ago, and now you guys finally made one. I will defeneatly try this!!!
I am Dutch, and consider myself quite the dessert expert, but I've never heard of this magical concoction
I'm from Germany and I never saw this before :D
Though my neighbour used to make (and give us) something similar, but I'm not sure wether it was just pancake batter, or your version...
Drooling onto my screen. Yum!
WOW, this looks amazing!! Relieved to see no Dutch babies were harmed in the process! #DutchBabiesHaveRightsToo
OMG. I'm from The Netherlands so i'm Dutch. and I have NEVER heard of this! but it sounds amazing!
Just finished making it and it is delicious... wish I could post a picture :)
I'm still waiting on a Sorted and Alton Brown collab video. Watching Alton and Ben do a nerd off would be spectacular.
and saying sorted at the end! more videos like this please
YUM!!! Thank you lads for the gorgeous recipe. :)
Hi Guys,I've loved these for years but I first knew of it as "Suprise Pancake"and saw it on Julia child and Gram Kerr's shows in the 60's. Thanks
Tbh when I read the title I thought this was going to be a recipe for poffertjes. Those are true baby pancakes.
I've noticed you guys have been making international dishes (adobo and this!) maybe you guys could make an 'Around The World' series where you guys make dishes from around the world!! I think it would be great. Aye aye 😉😉
Omg that look absolutely........yummy! Gota try this one! TY
Every time they said Dutch baby pancake, baby got back kept creeping into my head!!
Good job guys! This ones a keeper
cute, the shy woman with her 100 pullovers lol
A generous drizzle?! Boi stop playin 😂😂
"salted caramel apple Dutch baby pancake, salted"
Im not going to lie, i thought he said 'dutch gravy baby'. And that's it. Not even the dessert part clicked into my brain 😭😂
it would be awesome if you guys also had on your website the recipes was in cups and other measurements for people who are in the US
i think ben just had another supergeek moment with that apple. like!
Given the title I assumed you were gonna make poffertjes, which are very small pancakes which puff up a bit due to added baking powder.
Holy. Frick. This looks incredible.
Just sent the link to all my Dutch friends so they can make a baby for themselves.
Ben! I get what you saying about peeling the apple in one go and mowing the lawn in prefect stripes. Meditation!
I guess the German comes from the batter since it is the recipe for pancakes I know from home! But my mom used to only put in a pinch salt into the batter, then you get really thin Pancakes and we add jam or Nutella On the pancake and then roll it up and eat it like that, or if it's extra fancy a bit of sugar and cinnamon on top of the rolled up pancake
omg i made this for the first time the other day and i was like omg sorted should do this
I NEED TO MAKE THIS NOW!!!! but MUST you use a cast iron? Will you get the same effect using something else?
you can use a ceramic baking form or a regular frying pan, the cast iron just keeps the heat better) when you do a standard dutch baby pancake, you preheat the frying pan in the oven, then melt a nice chunk of butter in it and pour in the mixture at once) hope that helps)
I made it once in a stainless steel frying pan (because it's the only one I have without a plastic handle and could go in the oven) and it worked just fine.
I use a regular casserole pan. This is not quite a traditional recipe
Can i just appreciate the eating moment that i dont have right now? I'm hungry.
In my family we make the pancakes with yogurt and water, not with milk. we mix yogurt and water and that substitutes the milk. because of the acidity of the yogurt the pancakes get fluffier :)
Best food channel out there
In Sweden we have ugnspannkaka, which means oven pancake and they are pretty much the same thing, you guys should check it out!
Petition to get Ben cosplay as Harley Quinn, Mike as The Joker, Jamie as Penguin and Barry as Batman!
Why does Ben has to be Harley Quinn?????
+Ana Arantes Simply because Ben is fabulous. ☺️
Yes, he is!!!
I thought they would be more interesting as the cast of One Piece.
that's even more cute than a real baby...........for my tummy
At least in America, this is not out of place at most breakfast places (sans caramel, usually, but otherwise the exact same).
If you use a larger size cast iron skillet, should you adjust the bake time?
This is a typical Apple Pancake my great grandma used to make for me and she is German :)
That seriously looks soooo good!
oh my god this looks too incredible to handle
Ben's hair looks so softt!!
it is satisfying to peel apple skin all in 1 piece until it breaks, then all your hopes and dreams comes crashing down [me, all.the.damn.time] thanks for reminding me of my dark days 😭
I don't really like cooked fruit but this looks amazing!
ah this is perfect! My dad's birthday is next week, and I wanted to make something new for him. Very simple ingredients too. Thanks :)
Old wives tale- When you manage to get an apple to peel in one long ribbon, you should throw it over your shoulder, and when it lands on the floor it will be in the shape of the first letter of your soulmates name!
I’ll be making this tomorrow morning

For most cases you can just use regular sugar of course but for caramels etc it's nice to use superfine if you're able to.
never heard of it, never tried it but it does seem like a different version of an "Apfelstrudel"
My family calls these kind of pancakes- Hootenanny Pancakes, so there's another name to add to the list. This looks delicious!
can't wait to try it... sad I busy all day, now I'll be dreaming of this, and hungry. all. day. uggg! why do you have to make it look so good?
This has absolutely nothing to do with the netherlands, but it does look absolutely amazing! To be honest it kinda looks like a baby austrian kaiserschmarn beforeyou make it into little pieces.

Yum def gonna try these!!!
My caramel sauce was a little over done. What kind of cream did you use for the caramel sauce?
thats the most satisfying apple peeling i've ever seen 0.0 it pleases my ocd
This looks delicious, gotta try it
There used to be a restaurant that specialized in these. Both sweet and savory kind. It was called Pannekoeken Huis I’m not sure about the spelling but it’s gone now 😢 The servers would run from the kitchen to get them to your table before they sunk in the center!
More Barry pleaseeeeeee. He's so cute
I was planning to make this even before i watched this
When you caramelizing the apples , you fry it in one side , then FLIP it like a burger and sprinkle sugar to the other side ? The that is facing you , the one that has been caramelized before ?
Guyysssssss, I want more ultimate battles! :D
I don't know what to look at, this food or you guys
i did this recipe and it came out great but i have so much extra caramel sauce left what do I do with it
I just want a boyfriend who looks at me the same way Ben looked at that Apple when he was peeling it lol
2:54-2:57 and yet he failed to put "salted" in the title ahah :)) no hate, u guys are amazing! :DD
Got excited. Thought this would be poffertjes
Is this a Dutch recipe/desert? Or is it British? Because I am Dutch and I've never heard of these haha. Looks delicious though :D

Linda Belcher will enjoy this.
oooommmmggggg this is soooo mouth watering!!!! 😱😍
Are you able to cook these in pans that aren't cast iron pans??
Can you replace the cream (in the caramel sauce) with milk?
It's like Appelflappen and poffertjes were married and this is their baby Dutchies will know that 😂
So it’s a sweet version of toad in the hole? Delicious!
