Looks delicious, but -being Dutch- I have to say this looks nothing like a Dutch pancake…

They're an American thing, and their proper name is a 'Dutch Baby'

>A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake

I'm objecting on so many levels right now. Cultural Misappropriation being one of them !

This is the only acceptable form of a GERMAN PANCAKE

Iirc, it's a Pennsylvania Dutch thing. The Pennsylvania Dutch of course not being Dutch, but rather Deutsch, but also so far removed from the culture of Deutschland as to be entirely distinct.

German here and have never seen a pancake like that before.

abishop711 t1_ixws877 wrote

That’s because they were invented by german immigrants to the US. They’re not actually from Germany either.

Aaah, got it. Looks good though. Guess I look up a recipe and see what differs from the pancakes I am used to.

I just learned what I grew up knowing as German pancakes is actually is a traditional food in Kedah, Malaysia,thanks to your post. My mom grew up getting served it by her mom who called it German pancakes(she is from Germany which makes this more confusing) so now I'm wondering who and how one of my ancient relatives learned to make Pek Nga

Well, I will refer to them as "hootenannies" from here on.

shirttailsup t1_ixud5v0 wrote

That’s because they were actually created in Seattle, and Dutch in the name comes from the creator’s daughter not being able to pronounce Deutsch correctly. They’re pretty awesome though! You can find a lot of good recipes by looking up Dutch Baby Pancake.

That-Try3995 OP t1_ixueh1z wrote

I knew that via Google but the menu said that it's a Dutch pancake or Dutch baby (or at least that's what they call this dish) so I just went with it! No disrespect to the Dutch culture!

golem501 t1_ixv2mtc wrote

Americans seem to call a lot of things Dutch that are not recognized by Dutch. Same for Dutch apple pie I saw here. What's next?

seblasto t1_ixvbuvu wrote

Most of that stems with a derivation of 'Deutch' and 'Deitsch' when german immigrants who settled in pennsylvania, they became known as "pennsylvania dutch": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Dutch

It was more of a simplification due to dialect that became a regional colloquialism.

My family makes a “Dutch Puff”. Turns out it was Deutsch all along. We only just recently found out my grandmother’s embarrassment for her German ancestry when we started seeing it in our genetic tests. She admitted we were German and not Dutch before she died. For all you “Dutch Babies” out there, those are German too.

seblasto t1_ixvd10n wrote

It's the same baking method- a Dutch Baby is just like a sweetened Yorkshire pudding/popover (but you can make them savory too). They're usually topped with fruit and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar. My personal favorite is a blueberry compote with lemon zest.

Sounds good to me, I'll need make them some time.

Can you have basically any fruit, syrup and other stuff on them? Would baked custard work in the middle?

tittens__ t1_ixuzrj5 wrote

It’s the same batter; some have sugar added but you can make savory ones as well. The fats used to cook them are different but that’s just a flavor thing.

This thread is awesome. The Dutch: those aren’t Dutch. Someone: They’re supposed to be called Deutsh. Germans: Those aren’t German.

abishop711 t1_ixwrxe1 wrote

That’s because it was invented by german immigrants in the US. And then the Deutsh referring to those immigrants became “dutch.” It’s like a big game of telephone.

This looks rad! Is it eggy? That lemon gets squeezed over, kind of a crepe suzette type deal?

10

That-Try3995 OP t1_ixuaqvo wrote

It wasn't eggy at all! The crust was crispy-thin and the bottom was soaked in maple syrup and was really like a crepe. Yes, you can squeeze the lemon wedge if you want! The amount of happiness I felt when I ate this was crazy lol

abishop711 t1_ixwspm6 wrote

It’s super easy to make too.

Preheat your oven to 475F.

Put in your blender: 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup flour, 4 eggs, 2 Tb. melted butter, a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth (check with a spatula to make sure all the flour is incorporated).

Melt 2 more Tb. Butter in a cast iron skillet. Pour in the batter from the blender and stick it in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. The top should be puffed up and browned.

Slather with more butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, fruit, etc.

There used to be (still are??) Pannekoeken restaurants that served these. My fave was with small scoops of ice cream & raspberrries on top. I make them often at home & just use syrup.

In the US, it is called German pancake or Dutch baby. Dutch in this case was a screwup, bastardized form of deutsch.

Much sweeter though. In America, we call your Yorkshire pudding a popover. A Dutch baby or German pancake, like the one pictured, have a ton of sugar and is even eggier.

Sounds delightful, serve hot, pop some chocolate sauce and peanut butter with banana and ice cream.
