Recipe: Dutch Baby

RECIPE:  DUTCH BABY

3 Tbsp butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 425F.

Put the butter into a heavy oven-ready skillet or 9-inch pie or cake pan.  When the oven is heated, put the pan with the butter into the oven to heat and melt.

Meanwhile, mix the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, and flour with a whisk just until combined.  You don't want to develop the gluten in the flour any more than you have to.  When the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven, pour in the batter, and return to the oven.

Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until puffy and golden brown.  Serve hot with jam/preserves or powdered sugar.  Note:  It will deflate a bit once it is out of the oven.
