Tips & Notes
- Use room-temperature eggs and milk for the Dutch baby. Cold batter cools the hot pan and the pancake will not puff as high.
- Keep the oven door closed for the first 15 minutes. A rush of cool air makes the Dutch baby collapse before it sets.
- Serve the Dutch baby within a minute or two of baking. It is meant to sink as it cools, but it tastes best while the edges are still crisp.
