Dutch Babies Recipe

The Dutch Baby was originally derived from the German pancake, Apfelpfannkuchen. It is said that it was slightly modified and given the name "Dutch Baby" in the 1930s by Manca's Cafe, a family owned restaurant in Seattle Washington.

If you don't feel like attempting to bake one of these Dutch Babies up in your own kitchen, the Oregon based, Original Pancake House chain serves up a pretty good one. If you get the chance, give it a try. It could change your life.
