DUTCH BABY (AKA: GERMAN PANCAKE OR PUFF PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F Beat eggs with a wire whip until well aerated. Add milk and whip again. Add salt and flour and stir with a fork, until just blended.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a cast-iron skillet or a 8 x 8 baking dish with at least 2" sides. Run butter all over the pan bottom and up the sides so pancake can climb!
• Bake for 15 minutes. Serve with butter, syrup and powdered sugar. It is also good when sprinkled with a little lemon juice or topped with fruit (blueberries, sliced peaches, sliced apples or mixed berries).
• *Can be doubled and baked in a 9 x 13 pan with 2" sides.

• Peel the apples and cut into 1/4-inch slices.

• While sauteing the apples, beat eggs and combine with milk, flour and salt, stirring well to make a smooth batter.
• Pour the batter over the apples and place the pan in the hot oven.

GERMAN PANCAKE (PUFF PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter in preheating oven in a 9" pie pan. Beat together the rest of the ingredients. Batter can be slightly lumpy.

BREAKFAST PUFF (AKA GERMAN PANCAKE/ DUTCH BABY)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Put butter in a 9x13" baking pan, then place in oven to melt.
• 2. Prep the apples, if using.
• 3. Remove pan from oven, spread bottom with apple chunks, if using, and then sprinkle with cinnamon. If not using apples, sprinkle the bottom of the pan with cinnamon.
• 4. If using apples, place pan back into oven. If not, set pan aside until batter is ready.
• 5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, salt, extracts & lemon flavor well. Whisk in milk, and then flour. Whisk until most lumps are gone ( a few are fine.)
• 6. Pour batter into the baking pan. Bake about 25 minutes, until whole thing is nicely browned. It will be puffed up while in the oven, and then fall when it is taken out. Note: I have easily doubled the recipe before and successfully baked two 9x13" baking pans at the same time, next to each other on the same rack of my oven.
• 7. Cut unto 8 pieces, and serve with lemon curd and blueberries. Note: a little lemon curd goes a long way on these. Refrigerate leftovers, and warm for a bit in the microwave before serving. Still delicious!

Saute the apples about 4 or 5 minutes, until they soften and become light golden brown on both sides. 5. Pour the batter over the apples and place the pan in the hot oven. 6. Bake approximately 18 minutes. Don't open the oven door while it's baking. Turn on your oven light to see if it's done. The pancake should no longer appear wet on top. 7. To serve, invert the pan over a large round plate. If using the pie plate or regular pan, run a spatula under the pancake before flipping to make sure the apples don't stick to the pan.
