"elephant Ear" Dutch Baby
"This recipe is so named because the cinnamon sugar topping makes this pancake both look and taste a bit like an elephant ear from a carnival. Be sure to check it after 15 minutes of cooking and then every five minutes after that. Since some ovens run hotter than others, I've found it can definitely change the cooking time required."

- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
1 Dutch Baby
- Serves:
- 2-4
ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup milk
-
For the Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
directions
- Preheat oven to 425. Mix the eggs, flour and milk in a blender on medium speed until just blended. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet over the melted butter.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the top is puffy and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. When the dutch baby is done, spread the butter over it with a pastry brush. Then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. You can cut the dutch baby into equal servings, but in our family, we like to put the whole thing on a large plate and just tear pieces off (again like an elephant ear!) :-).

My eldest DS hates eggs (or so he says) my yDS likes eggs. My yDS's comment afer the first bite asked me if it was an omlet..My eDS devored it! I don't care for sweets myself, but it does taste more like an egg puff pastry rather than a 'dough boy" But than considering this recipe does include 4 eggs that should be understood. Would I make it again-YES! I found recipes here that called for either frozen dough. or refrigerated biscuits that are deep fried. I love my boys and it was a great healthy alternative. -
This is a nice and easy to make breakfast, but I actually thought that it lacked salt. -
I considered this a low calorie elephant ear. I love dutch baby and adding the extra butter with cinnamon sugar made it super yummy and lots of fun. Thanks for posting 2hot!!!

Well, I love to cook! Big surprise there. I've gotten so many great recipes from RecipeZaar that I finally decided to join. My goal is to organize all of my stray recipes to make sure they don't get lost, and also to remember which ones we love! I like a lot of variety, so I rarely cook the same thing week after week. The trouble is, as time goes by, it becomes difficult to remember all of the dishes that everyone loved and/or menus that were a hit when we had company. I'm hoping RecipeZaar will help on that front.
I work part-time and have 2 young children, so mostly what I focus on these days is preparing simple, fresh, healthy meals that all of us will enjoy. Our kids are not coddled - they are expected to eat what they are served. However, I do try to have at least one item on the menu that I KNOW they'll like. They are very good eaters overall, but of course they have slightly different tastes, and my son is a "separator," which makes soups and casseroles a challenge sometimes. Luckily, my husband will eat anything (and I mean ANYTHING) that is put in front of him. :-)
