Sweet, light, tart, and with a deeper flavor profile thanks to the rosemary. These strawberry dutch baby pancakes are the perfect way to start the morning!
I love breakfast.
Like, when I go grocery shopping, about ⅓ of my cart is nothing but breakfast foods. The other day, I actually bought 5 dozen eggs and 6 boxes of cereal. Don't judge me.
Of course, I can't live off scrambled eggs (with lots of cheese) and ginormous bowls of cereal, so when I need a quick breakfast fix I like to go for Dutch pancakes. They take about 3 minutes to prep and while they are cooking in the oven, I can get dressed, do laundry, watch TV.
Here is a fun fact: Dutch pancakes are also called German pancakes, but they aren't Dutch or German. Their history actually starts in a Seattle cafe in the early 1900's. Some people believe it was inspired by the German apple pancake or apfelpfannkuchen, but that's about it. Plus, you know, Dutch implies it is good, like, all the time. Because all Dutch food is pretty awesome.
I love these strawberry Dutch baby pancakes with rosemary because the flavor combination is so delicious. The combination of sweet, fresh strawberries with a hint of rosemary and a drizzle of pure maple syrup... totally yum. I will sometimes make a couple of pans and just eat them throughout the day.
Don't have time to make this delicious breakfast pancake now? Pin it for later!

I bet my son would love these. Can I make these in a glass pan? I'd love a cast iron skillet (*dreaming large, I know), but for now...let's just say that cast iron doesn't go well with a traveler's lifestyle;p I've never had Dutch pancakes before! Thanks by the way for including me in your favorites list!! Let's just say, you've fast become one of mine too!

One of the things that make the Dutch Babis work is how fast the cast iron heard up. If you preheat the glass pan I think it might just work. I envy your travels and your food reminds me of when I was traveling - plus I drool over your beautiful pictures Every. Single. Time! I am so glad that you have been enjoying my recipes as well 🙂

My kids asked for pancakes for breakfast, and of course I was out of mix. I'd never made them from scratch, but thought I'd give it a shot. These were so easy, and tasted great! My family devoured them, and I'm currently about to make a second batch. Thanks for a delicious, simple recipe!!

Wonderful recipe that doesn't call for buttermilk! I also added a little vanilla and they turned out perfect! I will be using this one primarily!
