Apple Blackberry Dutch Babies

Try our spin on Dutch Baby pancakes with fresh blackberries. This dish is actually of German origin. Sometimes referred to as a Bismark, these pancakes were first served in the States in the early 1900s at Manca’s, a diner in Seattle. The owner’s daughter coined the name “Dutch Baby,” presumably the result of an Americanization of Deutsch into Dutch. Delicious!

Apple Blackberry Dutch Babies Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F.  In a medium bowl, mix blackberry jam and apple cider. Place bacon on a foil lined baking sheet. Brush jam mixture on each side and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 20 minutes.
  2. Dice apples. Melt butter in a large oven safe skillet such as cast iron over medium-high heat. Add apples and cook for 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes; stirring occasionally.
  3. To make the batter, whisk flour, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Slowly add milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Whisk in vanilla and eggs one at a time until smooth. Let rest for 5-10 minutes to release an air bubbles.
