My first Dutch baby!

My father in law usually makes Dutch babies for the family, but now it was my turn to start the tradition at home with my family. So I made a Dutch baby for breakfast last Sunday and it was super yummy. Its pretty much just eggs, flour, milk and butter. Not a lot of ingredients, but man is it super tasty. I like to have syrup on mine, but the rest of the family likes honey and jam too. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!!

Recipe-
Big Dutch Babies
*Pan size 2-3 Quarts, 1/4 cup butter, 3 eggs, 3/4 cup milk and flour
*Pan size 3-4 Quarts, 1/3 cup butter, 4 eggs, 1 cup milk and flour
*Pan size 4-4 1/2 Quarts, 1/2 cup butter, 5 eggs, 1 1/4 cups milk and flour
*Pan size 4 1/2-5 Quarts 1/2 cup butter, 6 eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk and flour
Select the recipe proportions to fit your pan, and get out the ingredients you'll need. Put butter in pan and set into a 425 degree oven,  then mix batter quickly while butter melts. Put eggs in blender container and whirl at high speed for 1 minute. With motor running, gradually pour milk, then slowly add flour, continue whirling for 30 seconds. (With a rotary beater, beat eggs until light and lemon colored; gradually beat in milk, then flour.)

Remove pan from oven and pour batter into the hot melted butter. Return to oven and bake until puffy and well browned- 20-25 minutes, depending on pan. Dust with powered sugar if you wish. Serve at once.

*You need a paella type pan for this Dutch baby, pan should be shallow and no more than 3 inches deep.
