dutch baby

we usually have pancakes for breakfast on saturday morning. it's just our tradition. we get up, jeremy makes coffee, i have tea, and little one and i mix up the batter and make pancakes. this last saturday, i decided to shake things up a bit and make something i've been wanting to try for awhile...a dutch baby. i've never had one before. it was so easy, and so delicious. we all loved it! it will definitely be made again.

i put together a recipe from several that i found on the internet. here's how to make one...

ingredients:

2 TB butter
4 eggs
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup milk (i used whole, raw milk, but you can probably use any kind?)
apple slices (optional)
cinnamon (optional)

1. preheat the oven to 475 F. put butter in cast iron pan (from what i have read online, you can also use a glass pyrex dish if you don't have cast iron) and put it in the oven to let the butter melt.

2. while butter is melting, slice up an apple. after butter is melted, turn the oven down to 425 F, remove pan from oven and put the apple in. sprinkle with cinnamon. put back in the oven until the apples are slightly softened.

3. while apples are softening, mix together eggs, flour, and milk. take pan out of oven, pour flour/egg/milk mixture over apples and place pan back in oven.

4. bake 20 to 25 minutes. can be served with lemon juice, maple syrup, and/or powdered sugar.
