So I made these Dutch Babies this morning following the New York Times recipe and usually they puff up beautifully but today they didn't and were a disaster. What did I do wrong? I'm thinking to much flour perhaps??

I figured it out after looking at the recipe as I was copying it to my question. I didn't add the milk!

how they normally look

    Did you taste your disaster? Looks quite tasty though they might be chewy. That's not a bad thing. – Jude Apr 02 '17 at 00:12
  • I'm a perfectionist, if it doesn't look like a typical Dutch baby I won't try it lol – haakon.io Apr 02 '17 at 00:47

    That's okay. I'm always willing to taste my mistakes if they look edible and semi-appealing. At times, I've discovered new ways to cook something or a new recipe. I was telling my son that I wished I had a nice big combination lab-kitchen (science being one of my passions) to work in but would really love to have a lab assistant/flunky to help and then clean up afterward! :D – Jude Apr 02 '17 at 02:58
  • I think I need to make some! I make popover often but never sweetened ones like these. They look very good! – Jude Apr 02 '17 at 02:59

    I'm intrigued - how is a *Dutch baby* different from a *Yorkshire pudding*, which it very much resembles (in appearance at least)? – Pieter Geerkens Apr 02 '17 at 03:07
  • @PieterGeerkens the recipes are very similar but Dutch babies are sweet and you cook in butter not meat drippings – haakon.io Apr 02 '17 at 03:31

    I'm wondering about the legality of eating 'babies', don't we have laws against that sort of thing? – dougal 5.0.0 Apr 02 '17 at 05:35
