I made this again for the first time in years, and it's just as easy and impressive as I remembered it! My friends got a big kick out of it.

It looks SO cool when it first comes out of the oven, before it collapses.

Tastes like French toast, and that's how I serve it - with powdered sugar, maple syrup, sausages and fruit on the side. But it's so much easier than standing at the stove, making a bunch of French toasts, a few at a time.

I don't know how it got it's name.

Dutch Babies

1/3 cup butter
5 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
Powdered sugar and syrup

Put butter in 9 x 13 inch baking dish and set in a 425 oven to melt. While butter is melting, put the eggs in a blender and blend on high for one minute. Gradually add milk, then flour (slowly), blend for 30 seconds.

Remove the baking dish from the oven, and pour the batter into the hot, melted butter. Return to 425 oven and bake until puffy and nicely browned, 12- 15 minutes. Serve immediately with powdered sugar and syrup.

Suggestion: Other good sauce accompaniments include fresh strawberries, brown sugar, sour cream, banana or papaya slices sautéed in butter and served with lime wedges, or sautéed apple slices, sweetened with cinnamon and sugar, and served with sour cream or plain yogurt.

Serves four.

Lee, that looks great! How many people did it serve? If I was making it for two, would I cut it in half?

Your remark about the name piqued my curiosity and sent me flying right over to Wikipedia. Here's what I found. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_baby_pancake)

Ha!! I managed to wrestle the computer back from my wife - and your Dutch Baby caught my eye. It looks simply fabulous. Beautiful and all the types of toppings you use sound just terrific with. It really doesn't matter what name one gives to this diish, be it a nice, puffy Yorkshire Pudding in a good London restaurant, served with hot, steaming beef gravy, my Breakfast of Champions or that delicious-looking Dutch Baby - I suspect it's essentially all the same thing. A rose by any name would smell as sweet, the Bard said, and he was certainly correct. Thanks so much for sharing your version! :cooking:
