A Dutch baby pancake…or is it German? Or Swedish? Well, I totally get why all these countries are trying to claim this gem of a breakfast sweet. My dad used to make these when I was growing up, before I realized I couldn’t jump-start my day by consuming 2,000 calories. Basically, it’s a fluffy dough bucket—a dish that, when finished, acts as a vessel to transport buttery syrup and powdered sugar into your mouth hole. They puff up ever-so-perfectly and one bite will change your life. Add some lemon zest if you’re feeling Paltrow-y or eat it right out of the pan if you’re in more of a Teigen kind of mood.
