Sourdough Pumpkin Spice Dutch Baby Pancake

• 1 cup sourdough discard or active starter

• 1/2 cup whole milk

• 4 eggs

• 1/2 cup honey or sugar

• 1/4 cup pumpkin purée

• 3/4 cup flour

• Pinch of salt

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

• 4 tablespoons butter

1. Preheat oven to 425F

2. Add all your ingredients except butter to a blender, blend at high speed 2 minutes, or until smooth.

3. Cut butter into cubes and place in cast iron skillet. Place pan with butter into preheated oven for at least 5 minutes or until melted and hot.

What is a Dutch baby?

A Dutch baby, sometimes called a German pancake, has thin crispy puffed-up edges and a thicker custardy center. Dutch babies puff up as they are baked in a hot cast iron and deflate once they are removed from the oven.

What does a Dutch baby pancake taste like?

Dutch baby pancakes taste like a crepe, pancake, and bread pudding all in one! The edges are thin and crispy like a crepe while the center is thicker and softer like a pancake with a little bit of custard texture.
