This, gentle readers, is a Dutch Baby* pancake. Delicious eggy goodness that is baked into a crispy, chewy delight at a high heat in the oven.Serve it with some lemon or lime juice, some butter, and a bit of powdered sugar and you are set for a lovely dessert...I mean breakfast.
How To Make:
What you will need:
3 eggs
vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
pinch of cinnamon
What is indispensable in this recipe is a well seasoned cast iron pan, which is pictured below. This particular pan was purchased at an antique stone on the Oregon coast while I was on a camping trip with my Mimsy.
Heat oven to 450. Place cast iron pan in oven to heat. While pan heats, make coffee or beg for treats (all treats hidden behind that door):
When coffee is prepared, whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Open oven, remove pan and add a generous pat of butter and swirl around until melted. Pour in batter and return to oven. Bake until puffed and golden, about 12-15 minutes.
Enjoy!
*Dutch baby is also the name my Dad called me when I was little. Sweet, yes? We are dutch on my paternal grandpa's mother's side. Last name Jackman, perhaps we are cousins, Hugh, what do you think?

just for fun anymore I find myself reading your labels at the bottom. don't they also call Dutch babies German pancakes? what does the German think of this, what's the verdict?
The verdict is a big fat no. In fact he had to make real German Pancakes this weekend to educate me on the finer points of Pancakeage. He liked them, but they aren't thick and rubbery enough, apparently.
When will you come to visit so I cook you a big breakfast of Dutch babies and bacon?
I wonder how they got the name Dutch pancakes then. eenteresting. when will I visit, you ask? you know, I hadn't thought of that, not sure when I can visit next but I will continue to brainstorm around that. any kind of cooking by you, correct-by-German-standards or not, I would happily appreciate. and I think you should probably take his rubbery pancakes and use them for shooting practice. maybe add a little sour cream just for fun.
