Dutch Baby with Warm Clementine Sauce

By courtneyepowell

A Dutch baby is an impressive pancake that puffs up, then collapses like a soufflé. Try it for a more elegant breakfast than plain pancakes or waffles.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 cups clementine sections (about 6 clementines)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
