German Pancakes

The German pancake, also called a Dutch Baby, Bismarck, or Dutch puff is derived from the German pfannkuchen. It is a sweet popover that is usually served for breakfast. My aunt first introduced them to me and I’ve been a fan ever since. I usually serve it with butter and maple syrup, but I’ve also seen it served with fruit preserves or compotes. This is a pretty simple recipe that makes fancy results worth of company.

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Combine eggs, milk, flour, and salt in a blender. Cover and process until smooth.
3. Pour the butter into an un-greased 13″ x 9″ baking dish. Pour in the batter. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
