Dutch Baby Pear Pancake! It doesn’t get much better than this.
When my grandson spends the night he asks me to make a Dutch Baby for breakfast before we even have dinner the night before. He doesn’t like me to mess with them too much, a plain old Dutch Baby is his very favorite breakfast. He does like them with bacon Maple Glazed Dutch Baby. and now we’ve added another acceptable version of Dutch Baby to our repertoire with this recipe. It’s dreamy and easy peasy, everything you could possibly want at 9 o’clock on a Saturday morning while you are watching cartoons with one of your favorite people!

Ooh this is wonderful timing. We’re coming into pear season now. I adores pears-they’re like the sweeter, milder apple!
Every time I read something about Dutch Babys….I think of my mother who adored them. She sprinkled them with lemon juice and confectioners sugar. Love the idea of using pears.
Mom also made a savory Dutch Baby at home using sausage!
Oh dear ! I’m with you all the way ! Thank you so much !
I’m sure this would taste as delicious as it looks!
This definitely passed the taste test at our house. Delicious and easy to put together.

A five star recipe in my opinion.
Thanks, Linda!
My son and I just made it. And devoured it! Got great reviews from dad and added to the rotation. Thanks for the simple and quick delicious recipe.
Thanks for letting me know, Polie!
Yay!
Could i use kodiak pancake mix instead of flour? Or, would that cause it to not rise properly?
Hi Mark,
I’m so sorry, this seems to have fallen through the cracks!
I don’t think using pancake mix would work here and you are right, it probably wouldn’t rise properly.
