Dutch Baby Pancakes

Now this recipe is definitely one of my absolute favorites that I have tried out--so if you have a major sweet tooth [or as my Hungarian flatmates say "Sweet lips"] this recipe is definitely for you!

Dutch Baby Pancakes

Pancakes:

3 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

6 Tbs butter

Begin by preheating your oven to 450 F (or 232 C), and place the rack in the middle.  Put 10" cast iron skillet (or other heavy ovenproof pans...I personally just used a small metal square baking pan since we didn't have any others!) in the oven to preheat.  

In a large bowl, beat eggs until they are frothy.  Then add milk, flour, vanilla, and cinnamon.  Beat until the mixture is creamy (a few minutes, it's ok if there are a few lumps!)  Next, working VERY QUICKLY, remove the pan/skillet from the oven, melt butter to coat the pan.  Pour all of the batter into it and return immediately to the oven.  Backe 20-25 minutes until puffy and golden brown on the edges, remove from the oven and eat immediately!

Now the original recipe called for adding lemon juice and powdered sugar on the top to taste.  Instead, I decided to add a lemon glaze on top, followed by a hearty dash of powdered sugar.  The result? Delicious heavenly breakfast.  Just try it!

Glaze:

Milk

Lemon juice

powdered sugar

I specifically did not add any amounts of the ingredients, based soley on the fact that it is up to your own personal like of how lemon-y you like things, and such.  Experiment to try and find the best mix!
