Giant Holiday Gingerbread Dutch Baby


Gingerbread Giant German Pancake

I love this time of year! It’s a time of year for family and traditions. I think one of the things that is most nostalgic this time of year is making childhood recipes — the flavors and smells of certain recipes can take me right back to an exact moment in my childhood. My mom created a recipe book years ago when my oldest kids were babies with dozens of recipes from my childhood. I love making those recipes and sharing them with MY kids. I hope that my kids will also love these traditional recipes and make them for my grandchildren someday. One of the recipes we love making are Dutch Babies. I’ve posted about our favorite Dutch Babies before – Christmas Dutch Babies, Mini Nutella Dutch Babies, Giant Pumpkin Dutch Baby...

McCormick Spices

When McCormick® contacted me about creating a holiday recipe I knew I already use their spices to created my original Dutch Baby recipe, and I thought it would be fun to create a new version of the recipe for our new chapter and new home! I present to you our new Christmas Tradition — our Giant Gingerbread Dutch Baby!

This Dutch Baby has the puffiness of the regular Dutch Baby that we love making, but with a gingerbread flavor. I am so excited to make it Christmas morning for my kids! The smell of cinnamon is so wonderful and reminds me of Christmas!

After making giant dutch babies for years and years, I have a few tips I have learned:

Dutch Baby Tips:

  • Always use quality ingredients. Fresh eggs, milk, butter and spices. McCormick spices are great quality and are the spice brand I always use so it was a no-brainer to partner with them for this post.
  • Eggs at room temperature will whip up fluffier than cold eggs.
  • Whip the eggs in the blender first before adding the other ingredients.
  • Melt the butter in your pan and then pour the remaining melted butter into your batter and mix it up for about 30 seconds,  and then pour all of the batter immediately into the warm dish.
  • Experiment with the cook time where you live. I live at a high altitude so I had to adjust the cook time for my altitude and my oven. Once you know the precise cook time, set your timer and take the dish out.
  • Serve immediately.

    This looks delicious! What kind of pan do you use?

      It is yummy! I usually use either a cast-iron skillet or a glass casserole dish 🙂

    I’ve never heard of a Dutch Baby before but it sounds great. Can you clarify the step about adding the “remaining” melted butter to the batter? Does the entire stick of butter get melted in the pan? And when you add it to the batter, do you mix it in before pouring it into the pan?

    • Jen says

      December 6, 2016 at 9:49 AM

      Sure! You put the stick of butter in your pan and it melts completely while you make the batter. Then you get the hot dish out of the oven and using hot pads you pour the remaining butter into the batter and then pour the batter into the pan. It sounds weird. I used to make it where you pour the batter into the pan with the melted butter inside but the butter doesn’t mix as well with the batter. This way it’s all mixed up and the pancake rises uniformly. I hope that makes sense 🙂

        So you don’t actually mix in the melted butter? You pour it on top of the batter and then just pour it all into the pan? Guess that’s the part I’m confused about.

          You pour the butter into the batter and pulse it into the batter then pour the batter with the butter incorporated into the pan 🙂
