Easy Jacobs Pancakes Recipe

Many years ago, my mom and I went on a trip to NYC to visit a friend of hers, and that is where I had the opportunity to learn how to make Jacobs Pancakes. Her friend lived in a high-rise that overlooked the city. It was amazing. The city lights and the beautiful views. Wow. I can see the attraction to city life. It was fascinating. It was there where my mom's friend talked about how her mom made this recipe when she was a kid.

While we were there, she made Jacobs Pancakes (AKA Dutch Baby Pancakes) for breakfast one morning; not sure of the history behind it, but it was so good I wanted to share this recipe with my family, so I made it recently. I did modify the recipe with the ingredients I had on hand, but it still works and is delicious! The kids and my husband said it was really good, too. I hope you try it. Feel free to change it and see for yourself.

Update 2023: What is Jacob's Pancake?

After some research, my husband came across Dutch baby pancakes, which use the same ingredients and instructions. So, we think that this recipe is also called Dutch baby pancakes. Wikipedia defines it as A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake, a Bismarck, a Dutch puff, or a Hootenanny: it is a large American popover. Whatever you call it, it is delicious and a fun breakfast for the company and Sunday mornings.

What are the ingredients for this recipe?

½ cup whole wheat pastry flour (or 1 to 1 Gluten Free flour, NOT Almond Flour)
½ cup skim milk
Two eggs scrambled
A pinch of nutmeg (I used fresh and grated it myself)
4 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoon of confectioner sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice from a fresh lemon

How do you make Jacobs Pancakes Recipe?

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. First, melt the butter in an ovenproof pan (10-12 inch size). I used a cast-iron skillet (Affiliate Link). It worked great and crisped up the bottom nicely. Turn off the flame and let the butter finish melting.

Then, add the scrambled egg, and the milk, and sprinkle the flour into the bowl while whisking. Then, add the nutmeg. Don't over-mix; just mix until slightly lumpy.

Then, pour the batter into the melted butter. Then, bake for 15-20 minutes until it puffs up and is brown.

Next, sprinkle confectioner sugar on top and put in for another 1 minute.

Then, let it sit for a minute or two and sprinkle it with lemon juice.

After it cooled for a few minutes, I cut it into ten pieces. As it cooled, it became less puffy. I then served them with jam or preserves. Everyone enjoyed it, and it was so easy to make. I hope you try it today!

What to add to Jacob's pancake?

You can add various things on top or in the batter of Jacob's pancake. Be ow are just some things to add:

  • Apples: Slice up apples, add them to the batter, and bake. The cake may not be as puffed up, though.
  • Apple Pie Filling - Add the Apple pie filling pieces to the top of Jacob's pancakes before serving.
  • Peach or cherry pie filling—add these to the top before serving for a little extra sweetness.

Enjoy! Doesn't it look yummy? Here are some additional traditional pancake recipes from other sites. Enjoy!

Note: I have tried to make this with almond flour. Wh le it tasted good, it did not crisp up as much around the ends. Ho ever, if you choose to try it with Gluten-Free flour that isn't made with almond flour, it should work. If you decide to substitute the flour, please come back and leave a comment on how it went.

What equipment do you need to make this recipe?

There are a few things you will need to make this recipe.

Be sure to have a skillet, like a cast iron one, that can easily be transferred from the stovetop to the oven for baking. This is key.

Sifting the flour before mixing it with the liquid helps to form a less lumpy batter. So, having a flour sifter (Affiliate Link) would be helpful.
