Simmer for about 1 hour 15 - 1 hour 30 minutes. Serve over sticky rice. Sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds, if desired.  My kids love to eat this with seaweed.

Big Pancake

You might call it a Dutch baby, a German pancake, a popover, or a Yorkshire pudding. In our house we call it a "big pancake" and it's what's for breakfast this morning. Some hints, use room temperature ingredients and a super hot pan with melted butter. It helps your pancake to puff better. This recipe can be doubled and cooked in a 9x13" pan. "Big Pancake" Melt a stick of butter in a 9" iron skillet in a 450F degree oven. Meanwhile: 3 eggs 3/4 cup milk 3/4 1 cup all-purpose flour  1/4 teaspoon salt Use blender, blend well. Pour into hot pan/melted butter. Bake for 25 minutes. Everyone in our house likes to sprinkle powdered sugar on top. You can also use syrup or sliced fruit or all of the above.
