Place a 12-cup muffin tin in the oven and preheat it to 425°F (muffin tin needs to be heated inside the oven).
Combine all pancake ingredients except 2 tbsp butter in a blender and mix well, until frothy. Leave in blender while you start berry sauce.
In a small saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens, 3-5 minutes. Turn heat off and leave on stove.
When oven is pre-heated, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter. Remove hot tins from oven (using oven mitts) and quickly brush bottoms and sides of pan with melted butter. Turn blender on for a few seconds to re-mix batter, then quickly pour into hot muffin cups, dividing equally between 12 cups, filling about ½-⅔ full.
Place in oven and bake 15-18 minutes, or until puffy and deep golden in color. Remove from oven (they will quickly deflate). Remove dutch babies and top with warm berry sauce and powdered sugar.
