Breakfast Dutch Baby With Dalgona Yoghurt

How good does this sound, right? Warm, buttery, rich custard like pancake paired perfectly with whipped coffee yoghurt on a cold winters morning. You want to dig right in don’t you? Well, wait no longer. This deliciously buttery breakfast treat is perfect for every occasion, for a crowd, your family or just for you. It’s easy to make, requires basic ingredients, and minimal skill. So, what are you waiting for??

Lets get started!

For the Dutch Baby (aka. German pancake) you’ll need:

-6 fresh eggs

-1/2 a cup of white sugar

-1 cup of plain flour

-1 cup of milk

-60 grams (2.11 ounces) of butter (for step 7)

For serving you’ll need:

-3-4 tablespoons of brown sugar (or more if you’re a sweet tooth)

-1 cup of vanilla yoghurt

-1 tablespoon each of white sugar, coffee granules and boiling water (to make the Dalgona - whipped coffee)

- 1 tablespoon of butter (for step 10)

For this Instructable you’ll need the following:

-measuring equipment

-a deep cast iron skillet (I used a 10 inch)

-a large mixing bowl

-electric beaters

-heat proof mats

-pot mitts

-medium mixing bowl

Before we get started, grab your 10-inch cast iron skillet (you can really use whatever you want for this, as long as its oven safe and has nice deep sides).

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C (392 degrees F) and carefully place your skillet in, (you need a really super doper hot oven and pan for the pancake to rise).

So, let’s get started with these eggs.

Place your 6 eggs and ½ a cup of sugar in a large bowl. With an electric mixer whip your eggs up until they’re nice and fluffy, this will take around about 1 minute. (This can be done by hand but will take just a little longer, and a bit more of an arm workout.)

Once your eggs are nicely fluffed, gently add your 1 cup of flour and milk to the mixture. Continue beating for 2-3 minutes or until your batter is smooth and creamy.

Okay, now don’t ruin your whole breakfast by burning your hands at this point. May I warn you, THE CAST IRON SKILLET WILL BE HOT, and I mean it. Even through my pot mitts my hands could feel the heat. So even though you’ll need to work quickly, please, please, (PLEASE) be careful. With the aid of thick heat resistant pot mitts, very carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and place it on your heat proof mat. Grab 60 grams of butter and place it in your hot pan, let it melt away into a golden pool. When all of your butter has fully melted, you can carefully pour you batter into the pan (please try not to splash yourself with hot butter in the process!)

Place your skillet (batter and all) back into the oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until your Dutch Baby rises ridiculously over the edge!

While your Dutch Baby is cooking in the oven, lets move on to the Dalgona whip yoghurt.

In a deep medium bowl, (having a deep bowl saves you from getting coffee splatters all over your kitchen) place 1 tablespoon each of the following: coffee granules, white sugar and boiling water (use caution here) into your bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar and coffee. Clean your beaters which you used in step 5 and 6 and then whip your mixture until stiff and foamy. Add half of your whip to your 1 cup of plain yoghurt, stir to combine. With the leftover Dalgona I poured two glasses of cold milk then added the Dalgona to the top of the glasses. This is optional, but it does make a tasty addition to your breakfast!!

Once your timer has beeped, carefully take your Dutch Baby out of the oven. Immediately top with 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Once melted, sprinkle the surface with brown sugar (this creates a beautiful, caramelized flavor.) Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

WARNING: Your pancake will deflate, but don’t worry, it will still taste just as delicious.

Once your Dutch Baby is cool enough to handle, dollop your Dalgona coffee yogurt to the top of your pancake. (If you leave it long enough the heat of the pancake will slightly melt the yoghurt mix, but it doesn’t affect the taste in the slightest.) Cut your family & friends generous slices of your mouthwatering pancake, and let the complements roll in (make sure there’s enough left for you too!) This delicious pancake pairs perfectly with the whipped coffee, so don’t hesitate to dig right in.

Enjoy!!
