GF Dutch Baby Pancake with Mandarin Orange Curd and Fresh Berries

It’s National Pancake Day!

Happy National Pancake Day! My amazing friend, Jaki, reminded me that this day was coming up so I had to share an awesome pancake recipe to celebrate the day!

Dutch Baby Pancake

Do you hate standing over the stove making an endless stack of pancakes while your kids are gobbling them down and you’re absolutely ravenous?

I do too!

A Dutch Baby Pancake is the perfect solution! It is a large puffy pancake that is baked in the oven. No more standing in front of the stove making individual pancakes!

Have you ever tried or heard of a Dutch Baby Pancake before? They say that this pancake was based off of a German pancake, but was actually introduced in the US in the early 1900s by a family restaurant in Seattle.

The Dutch Baby Pancake puffs up like a cloud and gets golden brown while it bakes. When you take it out of the oven, it does deflate, but that makes a perfect little nook for any toppings you’re going to add.

So what can you do with all the time you have once you get the Dutch Baby Pancake into the oven? You can whip up this super easy Mandarin Orange Curd! This sweet and slightly tart Mandarin Orange curd is such a fresh and flavorful topping for the Dutch Baby Pancake, especially when topped with lots of fresh berries.

Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch or Dinner

This Dutch Baby Pancake is perfect anytime day or night. We’ve had it on a lazy Sunday for brunch, but I could totally imagine making this as an easy breakfast-for-dinner meal too.

My family loved this pancake so much, that my kids asked me to make it again this week! I’m totally happy to do it because I loved this pancake too!

I think you’re gonna love how easy this Dutch Baby Pancake is. Plus the combo of the Mandarin Orange Curd and the berries really take this crowd pleasing pancake over the top!
