Dutch Baby Pancake

One of Matt's favorite things to have for breakfast is a dutch baby.  He loves a sweet treat for breakfast.....it could be because he is a teenage boy and sleeps until 10....but for whatever reason he loves them.   

These little babies are super easy and really very versatile.  For those of you who have never had one....they are very light on the inside...a bit of a crisp crunch on the outer edge.  Fresh berries and a little whip cream and you have a great dessert.  A little syrup and its breakfast.

Of course my child loves it with a few chocolate chips sprinkled on it when it comes out of the oven so they begin to melt.  His favorite is when we have fresh strawberries to slice and lay on it.  But this morning we were out of berries....so we had to improvise and use raspberry jam and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.  Why? Well because in my house everything is better with a dusting of sugar. 

When you get ready to make these....it takes less than 5 minutes to whip together the batter.  Waiting for the oven to preheat takes longer than to prepare it.

Lay butter in a 9" baking dish or pan and place into a 425 degree oven while it is preheating.

Whip together eggs, milk and flour.

When oven is preheated remove pan carefully....it will be hot.

Pour batter into hot pan and place back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven after the magic has happened.  I will puff up around the edges making a bowl shaped pancake.

Regardless of how you decide to top it....it will be yummy!  I promise.
