Mmmm...five stars all the way and quickly goes on to the list of regular rotations. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I grew up calling these Dutch babies and this batter was better than any I've tried, it puffed up perfectly. I've never tried a savory version. Looking forward to making this easy and delicious recipe again and adding some mushrooms. But loved it as is. Thanks so much for posting.

Yum! This was quite good! I made half the recipe for just the two of us, used a smaller pan. Really really good and so beautiful to look at. Thanks for sharing, made for I Recommend 2013

Something a little different, and wow, what a success, we both loved this and DH especially said this is something he wants again, often! My pancake didnt puff up as much as some other reviewers, but it had good texture and was excellent for the purpose. I stuck to the recipe although I enjoyed other suggestions given here, for us this was a real winner as is. Thanks for sharing, loof!!! Made for PRMR tag game

OMG this is just wonderful and so easy to put together. I used different vegetables because of what I had on hand but no matter this is a very versital recipe (which makes it more awesome) I used red peppers, mushrooms, the onions and for the tomatoes I used a can of Rotel well drained (added the perfect heat for our taste) Loved the red onion in this. I did sautee the veggies in just a little butter. As per another review, I added 1/4 tsp of garlic powder and 1/4 tsp onion powder to the crust mixture (nice addition I think) And per another review, I used Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Parmesan as my cheese mixture..........So, so good. My DH was so funny when the crust was baking......Wife, that thing is growing......No I mean it is distorted........Looks like a mountain range.....When it came out of the oven, it was deformed in height. I used a spatula to press it down into shape. Worked great. Thanks loof for sharing. Will make this one often.
