Dutch Baby
Dutch Baby
This is a recipe that goes by many names. But whether you call it Dutch baby, German pancake, hootenanny or pannecocken, there is no beating this baked pancake that puffs up in the oven. It's easy to make yet fun and impressive, making it perfect whether you are preparing it for kids or guests. Traditional Dutch baby recipes are high in calories, high in fat and wildly high in cholesterol. So I have been experimenting with this recipe and finally have a lightened up revision I think will please all of you Dutch baby devotees. It is good served with pureed fresh fruit and low-fat yogurt.

- Step 3: Remove pan from oven and brush margarine up sides of pan. Add batter.
