Okay, so need to update, since I really wanted to try this idea, and decided to just go for it. I made a half-recipe (for one 9 cast iron pan), and replaced part of the milk with the liquid I managed to squeeze from about a handful of kimchi; I was wondering what the extra acid will do to the batter, but it rose pretty well anyway. After about 8-9 minutes I took it out of the oven and scattered the (chopped) kimchi on top, plus some hard cheese which I also chopped (in retrospect I probably should ve grated it, but the leftover lumps of cheese I had in the fridge and wanted to use were smallish and might not have grated well, and I also didn t want another dirty thing to wash, so just cut them up small; it melted, but didn t get nice and bubbly like I imagined). While I was doing it the lofty sides started sinking, but they had good height to begin with, and when I returned it to the oven for a few minutes they rose a little bit more. So as far as I m concerned, this was a success! Even if you don t want to remove the dutch baby from the oven, I really recommend this flavour combination (I guess the kimchi could be heated before topping the pancake, so that everything s warm, and that would help the cheese melt). Especially the addition of kimchi liquid to the batter, which worked much better than I expected. I think I should do it again sometime.
