Where did the Dutch baby originated?

Hey all, diving into the history of the Dutch baby, I found its roots aren't from the Netherlands but rather the United States. Specifically, Seattle, where a family-run cafe popularized it in the 1900s, naming it after the German word 'Deutsch.' Fascinating, isn’t it? Who else has cool facts or stories about this dish?

The Dutch baby pancake originated in Germany, not the Netherlands.
