Dutch Baby Pancakes
"Breakfast is a great deal in our house and we have a different breakfast almost every day, including school times. If we wouldn’t do this, kids would probably get stuck every day to their pretty easy but to me, pretty boring bowl of cereal, pretty easy, right? I’m sure you can come up with tonnes more ideas of toppings and combinations so, will definitely love to hear what these are. These puffed up Dutch baby pancakes of German origins make the perfect breakfast, brunch or lunch whether served sweet or savory and they require only a few ingredients. "
Notes* Reduce the sugar to a pinch or 1 tbsp if you are making these oven pancakes savory.
