Dutch Baby
….I made a Dutch Baby for brunch!! Depending on what you put on a Dutch Baby pancake, you can easily create a different feeling each time for a simple weekend brunch. Since I had sweet mangoes, I paired them with slightly bitter watercress, grilled a few leftover zucchini slices, and added a piece of Brie cheese for some protein. Finally, I added some basil pesto, and it turned out to be a perfect, stylish brunch. I didn’t have a small pan, so I tried baking it in a small pot. I put in too much batter, so the bottom turned out a bit thick, which was a bit disappointing, but it was still a great meal.
The pancake, which puffs up beautifully just like the name “Dutch Baby,” unfortunately deflates all too quickly, leaving you wishing it had lasted longer.
