Dutch baby pancakes with caramelized pears are not your everyday pancakes. They are light, puffy, and overall delicious.ย 

Easy to make Dutch Baby Pancakes with Caramelized Pears. Perfect for Brunch.

I have had Dutch baby pancakes on my list of things to make for a very long time. It was shortly after I started my blog when I saw a post on another blog site for these pancakes. It really sparked my interested.

Even though it has been a few years since I first saw them I have never made them. The reason forย not making them before this is because I did not have an oven proof skillet, which is needed for these Dutch baby pancakes.

A few weeks ago I broke down and bought a cast iron skillet. Yes, and I finally made them. I will say this they were worth the wait.

This Dutch baby pancake is super easy to make and only takes a few ingredients. Plus the ingredients that you need I bet are in your refrigerator or your pantry.

I dressed mine up with some caramelized pears which made them extra delicious.

No matter what recipe you look at they are all basically the same recipe. I chose a recipe that I found on the web from the New York Times cooking page, you can find it here.

Most recipes that I looked at said to use a blender, but the one I followed said that you mix by hand. I decided to mix it by hand which worked fine. You know fewer dishes to clean up.

This recipe is not something that you would consider for during the week, since they do take time, but they are perfect for a Sunday brunch. Or if you are looking for something for Mother’s Day, this would be perfect.

    I totally have had Dutch baby pancakes on my short list for a looong time now, too! I love using my cast iron skillets, though, so maybe I finally need to make this one. The caramelized pears are such a fun addition, too! Yum!
