Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 1 pancake, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (one half stick)
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, and nutmeg in a bowl. Beat lightly. Leave the batter a little lumpy as overbeating will make the pancake tough.
  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast iron or other ovenproof skillet with a heatproof handle. When it is very hot and slightly browned, pour in the batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pancake is golden brown.
  • 4. Sprinkle with the sugar and return briefly to the oven. Sprinkle with lemon juice, and serve. My kids like the sugar and lemon juice stirred together like a kind of glaze drizzled onto the pancake, which is how I remember having crepes from the crepe stands in Paris -- Additionally can be served with jelly, jam, or marmalade.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Dutch baby pancake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and it didn't have any crispy edges. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This Dutch baby pancake was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less eggs. Other than that, it was a good recipe. The pancake was light and fluffy, and it had a nice flavor.
