Dutch Baby (Aka: German Pancake or Puff Pancake) image

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!

GERMAN APPLE PUFF PANCAKE

We saw this recipe on Michelle Greenwald's (www.magicalmeltingpot.com)Yahoo Blog, and gave it a try. We both assumed it would be too sweet and gooey for breakfast, but since it's dreary and rainy this morning, figured we'd fire up the oven and give it a try. YUM! It wasn't too sweet at all, and the pancake had a bit of a custardy taste. It was easy to put together and made enough for the both of us, with a couple bites of crust left over for our four dogs. The recipe omits instructions for making up the batter, but we just combined the ingredients and mixed well. We used a 10-inch iron skillet, but any oven-safe non-stick pan would do.
