German pancake Recipe (Dutch baby)

1. Brief description

‘German cake’ is often called ‘Dutch baby’. It’s a German tradicional cake, so why call it ‘Dutch Baby’? The reason is that in the early 1900s, Manca’s Cafe in Seattle, USA, started making German-style cakes. At this time, when the owner’s daughter introduced this dish to people, she introduced ‘Dutch cake’ with a similar pronunciation instead of ‘Deutsch cake’ (German is called Deutsch in German). So, people used the word ‘Dutch cake’ a lot, and now it has become a proper noun.
