Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Peel, core, and slice the apple 1/8 inch thick. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a 9-inch ovenproof crêpe pan or skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the apple, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, and the cinnamon and toss well. Sauté the apple for 5 to 7 minutes until tender, tossing occasionally. Spread the apple out in the pan and keep hot over low heat.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the microwave. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the flour, the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar, and the salt. Whisk the flour mixture into the milk mixture, whisking until there are no lumps. Pour the batter over the cooked apple in the hot pan and immediately place in the oven.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and the edges start to get crispy and browned. Dust lightly with sifted confectioners' sugar, cut in wedges, and serve hot with maple syrup.
CHEF JOHN'S BLUEBERRY DUTCH BABY
You're in for a huge treat with this blueberry studded baked pancake--it's rich and satisfying but surprisingly light tasting. The true magic of a Dutch baby is the contrast of texture between the crispy, crusty outside and the soft, custardy, fruity center. This version is not only gorgeous and delicious, but it's fun and simple to make! There's no sugar in the batter, so all the sweetness comes from the berries and the powdered sugar. For a sweeter version, serve with maple syrup like regular blueberry pancakes.

Steps:
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs with the smoother sides facing down and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other sides. Turn off the heat and remove chicken to a plate. Let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
- Cut chicken into ½-inch pieces and transfer back to the plate.
- Pour chicken and any accumulated juices back into the saucepan. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir in hot sauce, turn heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Meanwhile, combine eggs, salt, flour, and milk for Dutch babies in a bowl. Whisk for a few minutes until batter is smooth and thin. Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with 1 tablespoon butter, then spray the cups with nonstick spray.
- Transfer the rested batter into a liquid measure. Pour into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway full. Spoon some Buffalo chicken into each cup then sprinkle blue cheese over top.
- Place in the center of a cold oven. Set a baking sheet on a lower rack to catch any drips. Turn the heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and set a timer for 30 minutes, at which point the Dutch babies should be puffed up and browned.
- Remove from the oven and let sit until the centers collapse, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool in the pan for another 5 minutes, then use a fork to carefully remove them to a wire rack. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature with a celery stick in each one.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put the butter in a large, ovenproof, nonstick saute pan and place in the oven.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the eggs, flour, warm milk, sugar, vanilla extract and pinch of salt, and blend on medium-high speed until uniform. (If mixing by hand, combine the eggs with the milk until the mixture is light yellow and no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously to remove the lumps, about 30 seconds.)
- Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. The butter should be melted. Swirl the butter around the pan to coat completely, and then pour the remaining butter into the batter and pulse to blend. Pour the batter into the hot pan and return the pan to the oven. Cook until the pancake is puffed in the center and golden brown along the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom and rendering the pancake soggy. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cooled slightly. Slice the pancake into 8 wedges on a serving platter or cutting board.

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.

A simple and tasty breakfast/brunch treat. This is an adopted recipe from the RecipeZaar account, and I am delighted to be the new owner of such a winning recipe. If you would like the inside of the finished dish to be a little less "egg-y" then cut the number of eggs down to 3, and many many reviewers also found that just 3 Tablespoons of butter worked better for them. Either way they did it, they all agreed that the taste was great. Enjoy!

DUTCH BABY
I've had these a lot at B&B's, probably because they're delicious and dependable if the right technique is used. This dish is puffy around the outside and flat in the center offering the perfect nest for sliced fresh fruit. It's airy, light and makes a beautiful presentation. The batter can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated.

- Slowly pour batter into hot pan; bake for 20 minutes; reduce heat to 350° and bake another 8-10 minutes, until pancake is well-browned; remove from oven and sieve confectioners' sugar over the top; serve immediately with fruit spooned into the center of the pancake.

Tips:
- Use a cast iron skillet or ovenproof skillet for the best results. This will help ensure that the pancake cooks evenly and gets a crispy bottom.
- Make sure the butter is melted before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Don't overmix the batter. Just mix until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing will make the pancake tough.
- Pour the batter into the hot skillet and then immediately place it in the oven. This will help prevent the pancake from sticking to the skillet.
- Bake the pancake for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve the pancake immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, powdered sugar, and fruit.
Conclusion:
The Dutch baby pancake is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With its crispy bottom, fluffy interior, and endless topping possibilities, the Dutch baby is sure to please everyone at your table.
