Us sourdough bakers are always looking for new ways to use up the discard after feeding the starter!

  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey or sugar
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin purée

4.Remove pan from oven, swirl butter around bottom and sides to coat. Quickly pour batter into pan and place pan back in oven.

5.Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until puffed up all the way around. Try not to open the oven door until at least 15 minutes in order to prevent the pancake from not puffing up properly.

What you will need

What is a Dutch baby?

A Dutch baby, sometimes called a German pancake, has thin crispy puffed-up edges and a thicker custardy center. Dutch babies puff up as they are baked in a hot cast iron and deflate once they are removed from the oven.

What does a Dutch baby pancake taste like?

Dutch baby pancakes taste like a crepe, pancake, and bread pudding all in one! The edges are thin and crispy like a crepe while the center is thicker and softer like a pancake with a little bit of custard texture.

  • 1/2 Cup Honey or sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 Cup Unbleached all purpose flour
  • Pinch Salt
  • 2 Tsp Pumpkin pie spice Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves
  • 4 Tbsp Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 ℉
  • Add all your ingredients except butter to a blender, blend at high speed 2 minutes, or until smooth.
  • Cut butter into cubes and place in cast iron skillet. Place pan with butter into preheated oven for at least 5 minutes or until melted and hot.
  • Remove pan from oven, swirl butter around bottom and sides to coat. Quickly pour batter into pan and place pan back in oven.

Notes

Be sure that your oven is preheated and your pan is hot before placing the batter into the oven. The initial burst of heat on contact with the batter allows the pastry to puff and create the distinct shape of an oven pancake. 
Storage
Refrigerate leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 5 days, or freeze.
