CLASSIC DUTCH BABY
The next time your crew craves pancakes, serve something new and exciting: a Dutch baby. This baked pancake requires whirring a few basic ingredients in a blender, pouring the batter into a piping-hot skillet, and baking for 20 minutes (no need to flip). After it poofs up into a show-worthy display, serve with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and warm maple syrup.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F, with a medium cast-iron skillet (10 inches, measured across top) inside on the center rack. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
- Purée eggs in a blender until pale and frothy, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture, milk, and vanilla. Purée until smooth, about 30 seconds (the batter will be thin). Add butter to skillet in oven. When it melts and sizzles, pull out the rack and quickly pour batter into center of skillet.
- Bake until pancake is puffed, golden brown in places, and crisp along the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve immediately with yogurt, fruit, and syrup.
GERMAN PANCAKE (ALSO CALLED DUTCH BABY)
The German pancake, also called Dutch Baby, is like a crepe crossed with a popover. It's ridiculously easy to make (the batter is made in under 2 minutes in a blender) and is always a crowd pleaser. Watching the pancake puff up before your very eyes is always entertaining. You can add fresh fruit to the batter, add it on top after baking ,or go crazy and do both! Then you have the option of topping it with the more traditional squeeze of fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar or simply drizzle on the maple syrup, for the syrup lovers.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and put a cast iron skillet (if using) into the oven to heat up.
- After about 15 - 20 minutes (or longer if your oven is slow), the skillet should be hot. Add the butter to the skillet and return it to the oven. If you're using a cake pan, add the butter to the cake pan and put it into the oven.
- Add 3 eggs and the sugar to blender and blend on low speed for 1 minute. The eggs should be light colored and bubbly. Then add the flour and milk and blend for 10 seconds, until evenly mixed.
- Take the skillet or cake pan out of the oven and make sure the butter has completely melted, with a baster spread the butter over the entire surface of the pan. Pour the batter into the hot skillet or pan and scatter the fruit on top of the batter if using.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 18 - 22 minutes, or until the sides and middle have puffed up and browned.
- Serve with fresh fruit and a lemon slice and powdered sugar or maple syrup.
CHEF JOHN'S DUTCH BABIES
I've always been fascinated by how many different breakfast foods you can create using just milk, eggs, and flour; and this is one of the more interesting examples. Especially considering the unusual, and borderline disturbing name. Sometimes called German pancakes, these have very little to do with Germany, and nothing to do with the Dutch. Apparently they were invented by German immigrants who were referred to as Dutch.

DUTCH BABY (AKA: GERMAN PANCAKE OR PUFF PANCAKE)
My sister Daralyn introduced this recipe to our family soon after she was married. Her recipe evolved from a favorite breakfast, to our families standard birthday breakfast. When served for a birthday we add candles and a round of "Happy Birthday" but it tastes just as good without those to amenities!
