A Dutch baby pancake, is also called a German pancake. It is thought by some that the “Dutch” moniker refers to the group of German-American immigrants known as the Pennsylvania Dutch. It is a sweet breakfast dish similar to Yorkshire pudding. It is made with eggs, flour and milk, and usually seasoned with vanilla and cinnamon, and sometimes sugar. It is generally served with fresh squeezed lemon, butter, and powdered sugar or fruit toppings or syrup.

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vanilla sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place 2 tablespoons of the melted butter into a 10-inch skillet and place in the oven for about 5 minutes.
