“Dutch Baby”, my all time favourite sweet breakfast food. The texture of this pancake is crispy and custardy  at the same time and you can add a variety of berries sprinkled with icing sugar. Impress your family and friends with this dutch baby also known as a German (Deutsch) pancake. It is really easy to make (only flour, eggs, vanilla and a milk batter pan fried in butter and baked). It’s great for a brunch and can be made in a 10″ cast iron skillet.

Ingredients pictured here all  except the butter go into a blender and poured into a hot cast iron skillet with melted butter.
