Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to make the batter right before baking. If you let it sit too long, it may not puff up as much.
Can I use a different size skillet?
Yes, but be aware that the cooking time may vary. A larger skillet will spread the batter thin, while a smaller skillet may need extra time to bake.
What can I serve with Fluffy Dutch Baby Pancake?
You can serve it with syrup, yogurt, or a dusting of chocolate powder. Fresh cream or a scoop of ice cream is also a delicious option!
