Ingredients
- Butter – Melt in the pan as the oven warms, this greases your pan.
- Batter – Eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, salt
- Brown sugar and Cinnamon
How to Make Oven Baked Pancakes
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. Place butter in the baking dish(es) you’re using for the pancakes and stick it in the oven as it preheats. This warms the dish but also melts the butter.
- Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a medium sized bowl and beat for 30 seconds. Whisk in the flour, milk and salt.
- Remove the baking dishes from the oven and use a pastry brush to spread the butter around and up the sides of the pan.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar over the melted butter, then carefully pour in pancake batter. Bake for 20 minutes. The pancakes will bubble up in the center as they rise around the outside edge, well above the edge of the pan. As soon as you remove from the oven these sides will shrink down.
- Remove from the oven and immediately turnout onto a cutting board.
Serving Suggestions
To serve, cut the pancake into portions and plate. I like to set out syrup, butter and fresh fruit. Whipped cream is also pretty delicious.
Storage
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
To freeze, wrapped cooled pancakes tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before reheating.

Ohhh shoot, I made a terrible mistake! Forgot to put the brown sugar & cinnamon on the butter so I was going to ask what to do? I sprinkled on top and at 6 min it is smoking up my kitchen 😲 still letting it finish cooking.
What should I have done?
Hi Karen, I’m not sure what happened or why it would be smoking. Putting the cinnamon and sugar on top of the pancake batter shouldn’t have caused it to smoke.
It turned out great anyway! Found out smoke was from butter had pushed out a little but it did stop after that!!
Thanks for the best Dutch oven pancake I’ve ever made. This recipe is a keeper!
Kirstin!, it worked anyway. The butter had pushed over some and caused the smoke,not my oven.I was making it for a client I take care of. He loved it and I had a small slice and Woohoo so yummy!! Sorry I panicked. Just wasn’t sure if it would work with cinnamon and brown sugar on top. Was great I’m making another right now the right way.
Yay! I’m so glad it worked for you Karen!
This is my favorite recipe for Dutch oven pancakes. And I’ve been eating them since I was a kid. And I’ve made many different recipes. With the addition of the brown sugar and the butter in the bottom of the pan makes all the difference in the world. That crunchy little sugary crust. This is one of my families favorite breakfast we always serve it when we have guests!! I always double the recipe and use two glass pie dish is. Makes enough for about six people. I serve it with a sauce that I make with fresh or frozen berries whatever I have on hand and powdered sugar.
Delicious! Next time I will reduce the cinnamon.
Is this for one pancake or 2
One large pancake that will feed 3-4.
We have these in the Uk we call them Yorkshire puddings or batter puddings. We serve them (minus cinnamon and sugar) with beef and gravy.
Thank you Maggie! and thank you for your feedback.
Tried your receipe and loved it!!! I’ll definitely make this a lot. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been trying out all different recipes for Dutch babies over the last few years. Sometimes they turn out great and other times they don’t. These are the best Dutch babies we have ever had. My whole family agreed. The best part is putting the brown sugar in and having that little crispy sugar crust underneath ! I always serve with a sauce I make with frozen berries and powdered sugar! This will be my new go to !
Can you freeze/refrigerate them or rehear? How long will they stay and how long to reheat? Thanks!
I haven’t tried freezing these, it doesn’t make a ton and we usually eat the whole pan!
My daughter wanted this for dinner on her 7th birthday. It was the best Pinterest recipe I have found yet!
We make a variation of this almost every Saturday morning. I also put blueberries and sliced bananas in the batter before baking, SOOOO GOOD!
Sounds delicious – we like to use apples, too!
This looks like so much fun for the kids. Thanks for the recipe Share…
I made this for dinner tonight and it was a hit with the whole family!
