Dutch Baby

By Pankey

A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake, a Bismarck, or a Dutch puff, is a sweet breakfast dish similar to Yorkshire pudding and derived from the German Apfelpfannkuchen. It is made with eggs, flour and milk, and usually seasoned with vanilla and cinnamon, although occasionally sugar is also added. It is baked in a metal pan and falls soon after being removed from the oven. It is generally served with fresh squeezed lemon, butter, and powdered sugar or fruit toppings or syrup.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup Butter
• 4 Eggs
• 1 cup Flour
• 1 cup Milk

Preparation

Step 1

Place the butter in a 3-4 qt. pan and set in a 425 degree oven. While the butter melts, mix the batter quickly. Put eggs in blender or food processor and whirl for 1 minute. With motor running, add milk, then flour. Remove pan from oven and pour in batter. Bake until puffy and well browned (20 to 25 minutes).

Dust the Dutch Baby with powdered sugar and lemon or nutmeg. It may be topped with fruit or syrup or pie filling. Each Dutch bakes in a unique shape and is spectacular when it first comes out of the oven.
