Dutch Babies Must Be Huge!

Dutch Baby Pancake

So there’s a little restaurant down the street that offers up this beauty of a breakfast. I wanted one of these (they are huge) for Mother’s Day, but I didn’t want to wait with the crowd. I just decided to make it for myself. It tastes more like a crepe than a pancake, but is considerably easier to make. I love it! Top it with your favorite fruit or fruit compote.  You can’t go wrong.  Read on for recipe…

Remove pan of butter from oven and pour batter into pan. Return to oven for 20 minutes, until it puffs up and turns brown on the edges. My favorite way to serve is to squeeze lemon juice over the pancake, then sprinkle with powdered sugar. What’s yours?
