German Pancakes

This morning I attempted to make German Pancakes (also known as Dutch Babies) and I think they turned out well! I'm looking forward to making them again now that I figured some things out. Here's the recipe, I think you will find that this is really easy. This works best with a 10" iron skillet or a pie pan. Any pan about 3 inches deep will work perfect.

3 eggs

1/2 C milk

1/2 C flour

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 Tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, beat eggs until light & frothy; add milk, flour, vanilla & cinnamon; beat for 5 minutes. Place pan in the oven to heat until oven is preheated (about 7-10 min).

Remove pan from oven and add butter to coat the pan.

Pour the batter into the hot pan all at once and return to the oven. Bake about 15-20 min or until the pancake is golden brown and puffy.

Dust with powdered sugar and a spritz of lemon juice.

Makes about 2 servings.

German pancakes are also good when served with various fruit toppings or maple syrup.
