Whether you have a special day planned (Mother’s Day is just around the corner), or you’re just kicking back on the weekend, this pancake is perfect for its pretty presentation.

I shared this recipe back in 2016 after a recent trip to Los Angeles. I was invited to attend a launch event for Safeway and Albertsons Signature family of brands. I joined about 20 other food and lifestyle bloggers from around the country. It was super fun, relaxing, and inspiring.

During the event, we spent our day at a gorgeous private residence in the Hollywood Hills. Oooh la la, right? It couldn’t have been more beautiful, and what a great experience! 

Actress Tiffani Thiessen and host of Cooking Channel’s Dinner at Tiffani’s joined us for the day. It was great fun to share some table-talk time with her, where we chatted and ate lunch with her, then hit the kitchen to create some delightful desserts. She was down to Earth and fun to be with, and I absolutely appreciated how gracious she was.

Once home and back to reality, I was inspired to create a breakfast dish to make the weekend even more special. When fresh fruit is in season, I try to incorporate it into as many things on the menu as possible, starting with breakfast! Smoothies are perfect for fresh fruit, and I tend to make those during the week when things are more hectic.

Blueberry Dutch Baby is the perfect breakfast dish for the weekend. You'll love Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancake for a special brunch.

The Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancake is so easy to make, and its presentation really is special! It’s got “weekend” written all over it, and since Mother’s Day is around the corner, you might like to make it for your favorite mom. This pancake bakes in the oven and puffs up with the edges rising and curling over.

The ingredient list is simple, and if you’re doing the shopping, don’t forget to pick up the orange juice to go with this fluffy pancake. Whether or not you turn it into a tasty Mimosa is totally up to you!

If you’re planning a celebration brunch, think about adding Mini Funfetti Scones to the menu. They brighten up every table!

To help save time preparing a special brunch, try my Cherry, Almond & Coconut Overnight Oats with Chia. You prep them the night before, pop ’em in the fridge, and pull them out the next day for a fabulous yogurt-based dish.

As a bonus, serve with homemade whipped cream with this pancake. It’s easy to make your own:

  • Blend for a few minutes on high until stiff peaks have formed.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided (two tablespoons melted and cooled)
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, plus extra to dust the pancake
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Add the eggs to a blender, and blend for about a minute until frothy. Add the milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, flour, confectioners’ sugar, salt, and lemon extract. Blend until combined.
  3. Add half the blueberries to the batter.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to a 10-inch cast iron (or ovenproof) skillet. Place in the oven until the butter is melted and frothy.
  5. Carefully remove the skillet, then pour the batter into the skillet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is golden and puffy around the edges and the center looks set.
  7. Remove from the oven. Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar and top with the remaining fresh blueberries.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

This pancake is baked in a skillet. It turns a lovely golden color and puffs up when it's done. Serve immediately, as it begins to lose its "puffiness" quickly.

  21. Oh my goodness, this looks incredible. I love blueberries, and German pancakes (that's what we call this dish) are one of my favorite breakfast foods! Actually, we just had them for dinner the other night. :) And what a fun opportunity to go to this event!

  42. Never tried to make a dutch baby pancake, but I've seen it a lot lately. It looks really good. Can something else be used as a pan? I don't have a cast iron pan.
