German Pancake

If you haven't made this before, you'll see that it puffs up really big like this when first taken out of the oven.   It's so pretty and fun to make if you have an urge for something different, or have just about run out of enough milk for cereal!   Although this recipe calls for at least 1/2 cup of milk.  In my house growing up we called this breakfast dish Dutch Babies.  But, I've seen it called other things including the puffy pancake, or a Bismarck.  It's all the same.  So, here's the simple recipe.  

2 T butter                    *maple syrup

1/2 flour *fresh raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries

1/2 cup milk *confectioner's sugar

2 eggs

Preheat oven to 475.  When the oven is hot and close to ready, put the butter in a 10-inch round pan and heat until melted and slightly bubbling.  Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, milk, and eggs, then pour into the pan over the melted butter.    Bake for 12 min. or until the batter is puffy and golden brown.  You are now ready to drizzle the whole thing w/ warm maple syrup, your favorite berries, and confectioner's sugar.  My favorite way to eat this is to squeeze a generous amount of freshly squeezed lemon juice over the top, sift next with powdered sugar then add some berries if you have them.  You can cut into quarters and fold in half to eat w/ your hands, too.  Serves 2, enjoy!
