Finally Made a Dutch Baby!

Baked 6/13/09

WOW! So easy and so delicious and light-ish. Make one NOW. :D It's like a huge popover...only more custard-y and tasty and like a heavy cream puff. Or a puffy baked pancake but with a completely different texture than a pancake. I think I just ate mine plain, then with syrup, and then with ice cream, but people have recommended powdered sugar, jam, etc.

Hmm...I failed again and can't remember where I got the recipe, but it's below. I'm sure the ones on other food blogs and sites like Allrecipes.com or Youtube work just fine; it's pretty simple and easy to make. Pretty much just flour, salt, vanilla, eggs, butter, and sugar, if I'm remembering correctly, and you just need a pan that you can put in the oven. I think I'll go make some popovers now. haha
