Dutch Baby/German Pancake

Inspired by: https://www.myfoodandfamily.com/recipe/051691/dutch-baby-pancakes

The cream cheese/marshmallow cream filling sounds wonderful, but I didn't have marshmallow cream  so made it more like my mom used to.  But I added blueberries to her lemon juice and powdered sugar.



Ingredients:

Pancake:
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
Topping:
  • 1 lemon (juice only needed) ~ 2 or 3 T?
  • up to 2 or 3 T powdered sugar - better to just shake some on
  • 1 c blueberries, mixed with a few teaspoons of regular sugar
Directions:
  1. Heat oven to 450°F.
  2. Add 2 T butter to 9-inch pie plate*; heat in oven until melted. Tilt pie plate or use silicone pastry brush to evenly coat bottom and side with butter. 
  3. (In a bowl, beat 1/2 c flour, pinch salt, 1/2 c milk and 3 eggs with whisk until blended; pour into pie plate. Place in heated oven, on lowest oven rack.
  4. Bake at 450°F 18 min. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake an additional 10 min. or until golden brown. Meanwhile, get out powdered sugar, lemon, blueberries and regular sugar.

* My mom had a special cast iron pan that she used with higher sloping sides so her Dutch babies were really high.  This recipe wonderful as it 'let' me use a regular glass pie pan to make the dish. I made in a toaster oven, it was ready in 15 minutes!
