25 minutes
Pancakes with fresh berries in the Danish style, known as Dutch Baby, are an elegant combination of airy batter and juicy berries. The origins of this recipe trace back to European culinary traditions, and its name is linked to the German cooking style. The oven-baked batter takes on a golden color and fluffy shape, while fresh raspberries and blackberries add a sweet-tart flavor perfectly complemented by powdered sugar. A light citrus note from lemon zest makes this dessert even more refined. Dutch Baby is an ideal choice for a morning breakfast or cozy family tea time, delighting with its tenderness and simplicity of preparation. It can be served as a standalone dish or enhanced with honey, syrup, or yogurt for even greater depth of flavor.
