Classic Dutch Baby, Baby!



I always forget how easy these are to make and what a stunning presentation they are to guests. Not only just a breakfast entree, you can put any type of filling or condiment in these after they bake such as cheese, maple syrup, baked apples, etc. Personally, I think they are best for breakfast served with lots of powdered sugar and lemon juice. Easier to make than pancakes!

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425ºF.
  2. Beat eggs in a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Stir in the milk with the eggs.
  4. Sift the flour, salt, and nutmeg into the milk and eggs incorporating as you go.
  5. Melt the butter in a 9-inch glass pie plate in the pre-heated oven.
  6. Remove the pie plate and distribute the melted butter. Pour in the batter. Do NOT stir!
  7. Place the pie plate back into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool briefly. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar and lemon juice.


Enjoy immediately!
