Dutch baby pancake

A Dutch baby pancake is a dish similar to a large Yorkshire pudding. Also called a German pancake, Bismarck, Dutch puff, hooligan, or hootenanny, it is baked in an oven rather than fried. It is generally thicker than most pancakes and contains no chemical leavening ingredients. Dutch babies may be sweet or savory and served at any meal. The current form originated in the United States in the early 1900s.
