Dutch Baby With Cranberry Orange Syrup

This recipe was found in the recent edition of USA Weekend, Dec 23-25, 2011, & we found it makes for a delicious breakfast! Actually it would be great anytime of the day! NOTE: the syrup takes less than 10 minutes to make, while each Dutch Baby takes about 22 minutes from start to finish. The preparation time is calculated for making the syrup plus 4 of the pancakes.
