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. Some people bake these in muffin tins. I bake mine in 9x13" baking pan and cut it into little breakfast casserole squares. This morning we added breakfast meats and liquid brownie (hot chocolate.)
"Big Pancake"
Melt a stick of butter in 9x13" pan in a 425F degree oven.
Meanwhile:
4 eggs
1 to 1 1/4 cup milk
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.
My first husband was British and the one and only time I made this for breakfast it was a major crisis because Yorkshire puddings are meant to complement a roast and you cook them in the roast drippings and pour the gravy over all.
