Dutch Baby
I'm glad I found this recipe. It was more of a curiosity in trying this recipe than anything at all. As I found out, this recipe is called dutch baby or a german pancake, or a dutch pancake. It was derived from Germany's cake as "Apfelpfannkuchen". More like a Yorkshire pudding as it is known to the British. You should try this recipe. It's so easy to make.
Ingredients:
2 tbsps. butter
4 large eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsps. sugar
powdered sugar {optional}
powdered sugar {optional}
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees with butter on a cast iron pan/ skillet.
Mix eggs, flour, milk and sugar.
Pour batter onto hot skillet and return to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. {Be careful in handling a hot cast iron pan}.
Serve while hot.
{Blend all the batter in the blender for a quick one pot, - cuts on the plate use!}. Serve with powdered sugar and fruits. I usually serve mine with jams, preserves, maple syrup or whatever breakfast or savoury toppings you have on hand. Dust with powdered sugar as needed.
This dutch baby is a wonderful alternative to the usual pancakes, muffins, or crepes for breakfast. This is also a one pot use. No need to use multiple dishes in getting this ready- just whip everything in the blender and you're good to go while waiting for the cast iron to heat up. Make sure to use a cast iron or pan that can go in the oven. This is a warm, light and fluffy breakfast!
Dutch baby! an alternative to crepes or pancakes for breakfast. No more slaving away on the grill pan. Happy eating!
