Sure, pancakes are great. But what about that unfulfilled desire to devour a masterpiece that not only looks like a work of art, but is satisfying, scrumptious, and filling? Well, I'll say this - you most definitely do not have to go to a restaurant to eat fancy.
The Dutch baby, also known as a German pancake, Bismarck, or Dutch puff, is a surprisingly easy twist on the everyday pancake that is both elegant and delicious. It has the texture of a fluffy, springy crepe, but the edges of this popover are crisp and puffed. The butter coated pan helps the flavors of vanilla, cinnamon, orange, and butter combine to please the palate.
Note: Before you start to make the batter, be sure you have oven safe pans! Plastic handles are not the smartest option.
