“Dutch Babies” are light and airy pancakes that are baked in the oven. The dish supposedly has its roots in Germany, but it is still little known here.

The basic recipe only requires a handful of ingredients. For four servings you need: For the sweet version, you should also have two tablespoons of sugar and two sachets of vanilla sugar ready. For the savory version, options include salmon, crème fraîche and spring onions. In 15-20 minutes the batter should rise into a cloudy pancake.
