Talk:Dutch baby pancake

message: In spite of all my experience in Holland I don't know what this article is describing.  It does not describe poffertjes, neither does it describe wentelteefjes (see Dutch Wiki).  Is it something that is eaten in America, perhaps? Hikitsurisan 08:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think its name comes from the Pennsylvania Dutch, so it's really German-American. —dgiestc 08:09, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

text: For what it's worth, the closest thing in European cooking seems to be Yorkshire pudding and the German Apfelpfannkuchen. They aren't identical (the German dish seems to be flipped, whereas doing such to a Dutch Baby would be practically impossible), but they do seem to be reasonably close.

replies: text: I live at the border of France/Netherland/Germany (been here for fifteen years) and I have never seen any such dish either in Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg or Belgium. Actually, given that the only translations are in Spanish and [unknown asian language], are you sure this is of European origin at all? Seems to me like a case of the German chocolate cake [i.e. named after a Mr. German and not after a place of origin].  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.14.22.58 (talk) 10:43, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

message: My husband's father's family lived in Hamburg, Germany for many generations.  My father-in-law emigrated from there. Before my husband and I were married, his mother gave me her mother-in-law's recipe for German Pancakes.  I adapted it to American sized pans, and cut out as much of the fat as I could, with retaining the flavor.  (The original recipe called for two sticks' worth of butter for six eggs, and heavy cream - to feed four people!)
I have a page with my adapted recipe and my photographs of it here:   We have made it for my father-in-law, and he has declared it authentic.  (His memory for fat must be waning...)
It's a tried-and-true recipe.  We make it all the time.  Enjoy!
All the best,

thread_title:  We have a family recipe for German Pancakes... 

message: My family has always referred to these as a Bismarck. I am not sure where this originates from. See recipe here .  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.211.206.2 (talk) 22:02, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't find a record of a trademark for Dutch Baby at www.uspto.gov relating to pancakes or the Manca Cafe.  Maybe it is slightly different than simply Dutch Baby?  Dspark76 (talk) 14:29, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Manca Cafe and Manca Restaurant were small, family-owned restaurants. The Mancas might not have trademarked the name, which is a shame because we would be very wealthy had Mark done so. It is too late now if it was not trademarked. I will call my grandmother to see if the Dutch Baby was trademarked. -- Azemocram (talk) 01:19, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Mrs. M. Manca Allenbach (my grandmother) told me that Dutch babies were trademarked, copyrighted or patented but she did not remember which one(s). Her memory is not what it used to be but we have the largest archive of Manca Restuarant artifacts and information. -- Azemocram (talk) 04:51, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trademark 

message: Our family recipe is actually a bit different then what most people say to be a Dutch Baby/German Pancake (which I also contend to be the most scrumptious out of all the different variations/imitations of the Dutch Baby/German Pancake dishes that I've tried).
This is the only picture that comes close to the heaven that is German Pancakes:

thread_title:  My family also has a recipe for German Pancakes 

message: Since the original / generic name for these pancakes seems to be the "German Pancake" dating back to at least tge 1919 reference in the article, with Dutch baby and David Eyre's pancakes being slight varations, should the article(s) be renamed and redirected to German Pancake? Dspark76 (talk) 19:52, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Dutch pancakes have their own article at Pannekoek and are not Dutch babies. I've had Pannekoeken in Amsterdam. The 'Dutch' in "Dutch baby" is actually Deutsch, in other words, German. Doug Weller talk 15:45, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Request received to merge articles: David Eyre's pancake into Dutch baby pancake; dated: {month/year}. Proposer's Rationale: it's simply a minor variation.  Discuss here. Doug Weller talk 16:15, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a number of variations of the Dutch baby, this is a well known named one. His daughter says " It appears on a dozen blogs, embellished with family stories and photos and new-and-improved versions of the recipe. (Eyre, by the way, said he got his from the “St. Francis Hotel Cookbook” published in 1919, but his calls for more flour and egg. Both belong to a family of oven-baked pancakes sometimes called either German pancakes or Dutch babies.)" and "What keeps cooks faithful to one recipe is often some confluence of ease and surprise. Eyre’s pancake possesses both. A batter of flour, milk, eggs, and nutmeg is blended together, then poured into a hot skillet filled with butter and baked". It's called "a more delicate version" of a Dutch baby on this Martha Stewart site. This article by a Times correspondent says "A Dutch baby — also known as a German pancake, David Eyre's pancake or a Bismarck — is the preferred pancake of weekend mornings in my house, and I'm convinced it should be in everyone's home." The New York Times: "Call it a Dutch baby, Dutch puff, German pancake or — as we did when I was growing up — David Eyre’s pancake (from the version printed in these pages in 1966)". I don't see any policy or guideline justification for separate articles. Doug Weller talk 18:51, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

message: , why "although"? That suggests something's wrong. Doug Weller talk 15:51, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  although it resembles? why "although" 

message: There's a big difference in cooking method between a Dutch baby and the others. A Dutch baby is generally done in a large cast iron frying pan and often served directly from it. Of course there's also a difference in the proportion of egg, milk and flour, and the addition of sugar to a Dutch baby. As someone who has had all three, they are definitely different.
Also, a Dutch baby is definitely a pancake. Who calls a Yorkshire pudding a pancake? Our article on it doesn't, although it does mention using a pancake batter. Doug Weller talk 15:58, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This is really funny - from the Guardian: "What we certainly don’t do is dress up the Sunday Roast staple in powdered sugar and jam and pretend it’s the same thing.
That is a different dish, the Dutch baby,".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller (talk • contribs) 16:10, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: (Having internet problems here today) I've never had a Dutch baby; I saw the BBC article and looked it up. Below the "fold" that quotes a British chef who evidently knows what she's talking about. But my edit reflected the bulk of the article: the British outrage that something that reads as a Yorkshire pud is being served with jam and powdered sugar.

message: The body of the article contradicts the depiction of this as a Pennsylvania dish. Likely it was listed as such because of the German and Dutch settlers to Pennsylvania. But the dish originated in Washington and really has no connection to the Dutch and Deutche immigrants.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grantor (talk • contribs) 16:57, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
