I love Dutch Babies–the large, puffy-oven baked pancake. It’s a tradition in our house to have dutch babies the Sunday morning of our bi-annual church conference. It’s actually a tradition that stems back from when I was a child. Warm dutch babies covered with powdered sugar, a drop or two of lemon juice then lots of maple syrup–yum. Then we lounge in our pajamas and enjoy a day of inspiration.
Dutch Babies Recipe
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Whisk together in a blender until smooth:
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
6 large eggs
Put 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large oven pot and melt in the oven. Once melted, pour the egg mixture in the pot and cook in the oven for 20 minutes. The pancake will puff up and raise. Serve immediately, for the pancake loses its puff, and therefore its drama, almost immediately. Dust with powder sugar.
