ROSEMARY & GRAPEFRUIT BAKED PUFF PANCAKE

September 18, 2012

Baked puff pancakes can go by many names. “Hootenanny” from the people of Appalachia or “dutch baby” are the two I hear most commonly. Either way, I love how no-fuss it is compared to batch cooking traditional pancakes. This was a Saturday morning favorite around here. This recipe creates a fluffier texture from the typical stack of flapjacks. I have a firm aversion to dried rosemary. (Or should I say pine needles?) Be sure to use the fresh stuff for this or substitute other fruits and toppings.

  • kellie

    Looks and sounds so yummy! Thanks for the recipe!

    • Rachel Schultz

      You are welcome!

    Just want to make sure- your ingredient list says 5 eggs but there’s 6 in the bowl, so i’m guessing you used 6? :) I’ve had this at a 4th of July celebration breakfast before and it was delicious!

    • Rachel Schultz

      Yes, 5 is correct. Thanks!

      We call this a German Pancake and enjoy it every Christmas morning…but the recipe I found years and years ago has an accompanying buttermilk syrup that IS TO DIE FOR. Don’t let the buttermilk scare you….I personally can’t stand the stuff, but this syrup is so awesome!
      1-1/2 C sugar
      3/4 C buttermilk (you can find a powder to reconstitute that keeps forever)
      1/2 C Butter
      2 T corn syrup
      1 t. baking soda
      2-4 t. vanilla, depending on personal taste

      In a deep pan or dutch oven, combine the first five syrup ingredients; bring to a boil. (The reason for big pan is that you do not want this mixture boiling over onto your stove top. Trust me.) Boil for 7 minutes. Remove from hear; stir in vanilla. Dust pancake with powered sugar and serve with syrup. YUM!

        Great info! Thanks, Suzanne.

          Girl That is the BEST EVER!!!!! Syrup Thank You so much for the recipe :)

          • Rachel Schultz

            That’s great. Thank you!

  • Oh, I will have to try this. I have never heard of such a thing but it looks wonderful. I can’t get enough breakfast food. Do you eat it with syrup and everything still?

  • We love hootenannys in our family. We make them for special occasions. (Our recipe calls for one cube of butter. Often I make the first pan with full butter, and the next pan with half, so I can indulge, but feel like I compromised by cutting half the fat! So I love that your recipe starts out that way)

    Our kids are divided on the best topping. Some like maple syrup, others powdered sugar, and the last group prefers the brown sugar syrup (made by cooking brown sugar/ light corn syrup and whipping creme together.)
