Dutch Baby

I know, what an odd name and no I don't know why it is called that. I can tell you that is a great dish to make for a weekend brunch or breakfast treat. It's much like a giant popover, you can top it with fresh fruit and whipped cream or applesauce and yogurt like we do.

Dutch Baby

Ingredients:

1/3 c. butter
4 eggs
1 c. milk
1 c. flour

1) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2) Get out your eggs, flour and milk, your blender or food processor and your measuring cups. Things move quickly after step #3 so it's best to be prepared.
3) Put the butter in a 3 to 4 quart glass baking dish and set it into a 425 degree oven.

4) Put eggs in blender  and whirl at high speed for 1 minute.
5) With motor running, gradually pour in milk. Most blenders have a hole in the top for just this purpose.

6) Slowly add flour; continue whirling for 30 seconds.

(With a rotary beater, beat eggs until light and lemon colored; gradually beat in milk, then flour.)
7) Remove pan from oven with the butter melted and pour batter into the hot melted butter.

8) Return the pan to the oven and bake until puffy and well browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

9) While the dutch baby is baking you can prepare your toppings. I like to warm up some apple sauce, serving it with plain yogurt and maple syrup. That was how it was originally served to us. It would be great with fresh cut up fruit or whatever strikes your fancy.

10) It will puff up while baking then sink when you serve it. This recipe makes two to four servings depending on what else is on the menu.

 Do serve it hot from the oven !!
