Dutch Babies with Lemon Curd and Blueberries

[heart_this] · Apr 10, 2017 · 28 Comments

Dutch Babies with Lemon Curd and Blueberries

Light and fluffy, cloud like, dutch baby pancakes filled with lemon curd and fresh blueberries!

Easter is this weekend and I was looking for some ideas for a nice breakfast or brunch and when I came across a recipe for dutch babies with lemon curd and blueberries on Nerds with Knives I had found what I was looking for! Dutch babies are a kind puffy pancake, rather like a popover or a yorkshire pudding, where the batter is baked in a pan until it gets all nice and golden brown and puffy! When removed from the oven the the puffy centre sinks in and you can fill it with tasty things! I usually like to make these as savoury treats with my spring favourite being asparagus and double smoked bacon popover but it’s also really nice when on the sweet side. These dutch babies are filled with a cool, creamy and intensely flavoured homemade lemon curd along with fresh blueberries making them perfect for both Spring and Easter!

    The recipe looks really great. It says it serves 4. Does that mean you use 1/4 of the batter to make 4 Dutch Babies, or do you make 1 Dutch Baby and it feeds 4 people? The recipe is not clear on that point. I am dying to make this dish as it looks absolutely delicisou.

    I would recommend using bread flour for this. The higher protein content seems to ensure that it really puffs up. My experience is that regular flour sometimes makes a thick pancake, but since I switched to bread flour, it comes out right every time

    Anonymous: You can make one large one and divide it into 4 servings or make small smaller, individual servings. Enjoy!

    Hi Kevin, these look absolutely delicious. I was wondering if you had any advice on making these at higher altitudes? We live in Colorado Springs and I've been having a lot of bad luck trying to bake since moving here. 🙁

      Here in Colorado Springs I always add 1 extra tablespoon of flour for each cup of flour and reduce baking soda and baking powder by at least 1/8 teaspoon!

    Made these toniggt. So good. I only had frozen berries. I think fresh would be better. Thanks for sharing.

    Absolutely beautiful and mouthwatering!
    For those who are allergic to gluten, what would you recommend swapping the flour with to get the same fluffiness of the Dutch babies?

      I have not experimented with different forms of gluten-free flour so I am not sure. If you try some and find one that works well, I would love to know about it!

    Can this be made on a griddle? I do not have an oven safe frying pan and probably could not lift one with my dissability. Is there another method?

      In order to get the ‘puffing’ you are going to need to place this in the oven or in an outdoor grill/bbq that you can close and control the temperature in, rather than just having the heat on the bottom, like from a griddle. You can use any kind of metal oven safe pan including a roasting pan or even a cake pan or loaf pan.

    I made this today and it is now one of my favorite recipes of all time. My father and brother also greatly enjoyed. The tart curd with blueberries is great.

    To cut calories, and still have a delicious treat, serve it with lemon wedges and fresh blueberries. Adjust the amount of powdered sugar a bit to keep it sweet to your taste.
