Dutch Baby
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, beaten
- 1½ C all-purpose flour
- 1½ C milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Confectioners sugar for dusting
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix eggs, flour, milk, vanilla, salt, and spices in a bowl with a whisk. The batter may be slightly lumpy. Also, the batter may be made the night before and kept in the refrigerator.
- Cut butter into pieces and place in a 9" x 13" Pyrex or casserole dish. Place the casserole dish in the oven and allow the butter to melt until it is slightly browned. Be careful, as the butter can go from slightly browned to burnt very quickly. This extra step gives the pancake wonderful flavor!
- Once the butter is melted, take the casserole dish out of the oven and pour the batter over the melted butter. Place the casserole dish back in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown and very puffy. When finished baking, remove the casserole from the oven, cut the pancake into serving sizes, and dust each serving liberally with confectioners sugar. Serve with pancake syrup and jam.
