Dutch baby: the big pancake that inflates in the oven

Useful to know

A Dutch baby is a large oven pancake made from a fluid batter containing flour, milk and eggs. King Arthur’s Lemon Puff Pancake rises during baking and may sink after removal. [1]

Do not judge its final volume like a cake expected to retain its shape while cooling. Vessel size matters: a small one can overflow, while an oversized one reduces height. The skillet or tin is part of the recipe rather than an arbitrary choice based on available space.
