Oven Baked Pancake (Dutch Baby or David Eyre's Pancake)
From "The Essential New York Times Cookbook"; this recipe is David Eyre's, adapted by Craig Clairborne in 1966. The best and simplest version of this classic breakfast, with a drizzle of lemon juice and powdered sugar to finish.

ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup whole milk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (one half stick)
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1⁄2 lemon, juiced
directions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, and nutmeg in a bowl. Beat lightly. Leave the batter a little lumpy as overbeating will make the pancake tough.
- Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast iron or other ovenproof skillet with a heatproof handle. When it is very hot and slightly browned, pour in the batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pancake is golden brown.
- 4. Sprinkle with the sugar and return briefly to the oven. Sprinkle with lemon juice, and serve. My kids like the sugar and lemon juice stirred together like a kind of glaze drizzled onto the pancake, which is how I remember having crepes from the crepe stands in Paris -- Additionally can be served with jelly, jam, or marmalade.
