Dutch Baby Breakfast

Dutch Baby!

Dutch baby!  In our family we reserve this breakfast for "special," normally making its annual appearance on Christmas morning, but it's so easy to make that it can be made at the last minute with only 4 staple ingredients!


Stick a cast iron skillet, or oven safe glass pan, into the oven with 1/4 cup butter.  Preheat your oven to 425 F.  


In a large bowl, mix together 5 eggs


and 1 1/4 cups EACH of flour and milk.


Remove the pan from the oven and pour in the batter.  The butter will come to the top a bit.


WITH A HOT MITT (important!) put the pan back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.


Look at the puff!!!


Ooh, la, la!


As it cools, it will deflate a bit, but taste SOOO delicious!  A light, delicate, buttery top over a soft and creamy Dutch Baby :)


Dust with powdered sugar, syrup or strawberries and serve hot!


P.S.  To make in advance, throw all the ingredients in a sealable bowl.


Shake, shake, shake 'em up!


Store into your fridge over night.  I use an erasable marker to remind myself of the time and temp.  (Notice the bacon?!?!)


From one hearty appletite to another...happy cooking!
