German Pancake (Dutch Baby)
This is an easy breakfast twist on eggs or pancakes. The puffed nature of the resulting dish is dramatic – a great choice to serve to guests. If you don’t like lemon and powdered sugar, try spreading with your favorite jam or top with fresh berries.

Cooking Tip
When you melt the butter in skillet or baking dish, be sure it entirely coats the bottom of the dish/skillet. This will ensure it does not stick when you serve.
