Is it possible to make a Dutch baby, or similar, without an oven?
I find myself temporarily without an oven, but am really craving a Dutch baby. Since a Dutch baby is cooked in a very hot oven, clearly I can't make a normal one. But is there any version of one, or a similar "puff" pancake, that can be made entirely on the stovetop?
I've found some recipes for making one in a Dutch oven, which I happen to have handy, but those all require hot coals to stack top and bottom heat. I just have an electric stovetop.
I'm looking here for "one big pancake" that fills the pan and puffs up a lot, instead of regular small flat pancakes. Is it in any way possible to make such a thing using only bottom heat?

How do you make a Dutch baby without a cast iron skillet?
That said, I have tested it both ways \u2014 in a skillet or pan. The skillet you use doesn't have to be cast iron; you can use any oven-safe pan (or baking dish) that is approximately 9 by 12 inches. You can even make a dutch baby in a pie pan!Can I make Dutch baby in glass pie pan?
Thankfully the Dutch pancake pan is an imaginary pan, and Dutch pancakes can be made in just about any metal pan or glass pie dish.How is a Dutch baby made?
