Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Directions

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place eggs, flour, milk, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl; whisk until combined. Batter may still be slightly lumpy. The batter may be made a day ahead and chilled overnight.

For each pancake, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 4-inch crepe pan or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Using a ladle, pour one-third of the batter into the very hot pan; transfer pan or skillet immediately to the oven. Bake until pancake is golden brown and very puffy, about 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners’ sugar; serve immediately.

      Cook's Notes

                This recipe was great--it was kind of like a popover pancake! I had to cook mine for quite a bit longer (6 mins-ish), but I think that's just due to my rental apartment's oven.

                If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, just use a casserole pan and cook it for 20 minutes. It is wonderful!!

                These are the Famous Dutch Babies--traditionally served with  applesauce  and powdered sugar. Very dramatic and a Seattle traditon first created by Manca's Restaurant. Zoom up the batter in a blender. We have made them all sizes from crepe pan to Paella pan-also written up in the Seattle Times by Larry Brown with the formula for different sized pans. A terrific presentation item.

                SO authentic, truly.  I live in Maine now, and though there's a small portion (less than 18%) of the state's population with German heritage, this is remarkably akin to what I had from time-to-time growing up in the Midwest (northwest Illinois

                Hi:
                        Have made the large version, but would love to make the individuals.  Where can one find a 4" crepe pan?

                These are really German Pancakes, so many people from Maine have German roots. This is a very simple basic batter, in which you can pretty much put anything on because the pancake itself is not sweet.  As far as Yorkshire Pudding goes it is almost the same, except for adding the drippings from your Roast.   I love Yorkshire Pudding.... :)

                These are excellent with butter, powdered sugar, and fresh lemon juice.  You will have a German pancake.

                These were quick and easy to make.  I made on large one in a cast iron skillet - it wasn't bad, but it was not the same texture as a traditional pancake.  It had a bit of a custard feel to me (and I do not like custard).  I'm thinking about experimenting with either one less egg, or more flour??

                These are good topped with fresh berries,or other fruit mixed with sugar.
                
                Or,top with sautn  n  n  n  d two or three apples, sliced, in butter, toss with honey and add brown sugar and cinnamon. Or just before serving add sliced bananas.
                
                Top with powdered sugar
                
                Serve with syrup of your choice.
