Want to talk about puffed pancakes? I love making pancakes for my family. They all love them, and I love making them happy. Do you know what doesn’t make me happy? By the time I sit down to eat my pancakes, they are all finished and ready to move on to something else.

Want to talk about puffed pancakes? I love making pancakes for my family. They all love them, and I love making them happy. Do you know what doesn’t make me happy? By the time I sit down to eat my pancakes, they are all finished and ready to move on to something else. I saw this recipe in Midwest Living Magazine and knew that it was the answer. You make one large, gorgeous, puffed beauty, and slice it like pie. It is a cinch to make, and less clean up than a normal pancake. When the pancake bakes, it forms a bowl, and it is the perfect receptacle for berries, bananas, sauteed apples, or whatever strikes your fancy.

How to Make // The Steps

Step 1: This recipe works best if the eggs are at room temperature. I never think about that when I am making this recipe, so I drop the eggs in warmish water for 15 minutes before, works like a charm.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Step 3: Add the eggs to a blender. Let it run for 30 seconds or so. You can do this by hand if you want to, but I like how frothy the batter gets in the blender.

Step 4: Add the flour, milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Blend again.

Puffed Pancakes or otherwise known as the Dutch Baby. A thin batter is poured into a hot pan and magic happens. It puffs and creates and bowlike shape to hold berries. Delcious!

I just made these a few minutes ago and it was very fluffy...almost souffle like. Easy and a nice twist on pancakes. I did half the recipe just for me and used almond milk. It was sooooo tasty! I will make again!
