Dutch Pancakes
"This is from a Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook. I used to make this as a little girl in my mom's iron skillet. I made it with a very good friend of mine and she still talks about these today. They were a lot of fun to make since they really bubbled up in the oven and of course it helped that we got to put butter and sugar all over them!"

directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Set a 10" heavy skillet with heat resistant handle over moderately low heat.

- Beat eggs and milk together.
- Stirring constantly, blend the egg mixture into flour mixture.
- Quickly pour batter into hot skillet.
- cook 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- Place skillet in oven and bake about 10 minutes or until the pancake is a light golden brown and top spings back when lightly touched at center.
- Remove to warm platter. Sift confectioner's sugar over top (I buttered heavily first, then sifted confectioner's sugar over it. The butter melted and created a sort of sugary paste with the confectioner's sugar - yum!).
- Serve at once with lemon wedges (I never did!).

*Ahhh the memories* ! I went all out w/this & served it w/butter, powd sugar & lemon in generous amts as thats the way I like it & remember it. It was a bit of an experiment as I did not have an oven-proof skillet & used a pyrex baking dish. I microwave-melted the butter, swirled it in the dish & reheated it as hot as I thot I should. Then I poured the batter in, put it in the oven & allowed a cpl extra min baking time for the lack of stovetop cooking time. It was great, easy & fast! Who asks for more than that? Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. *Yum* ! ~ *Note Re Yield* I halved this & it was a stretch to serve 2 of us, so 4 servings would be the max IMO. :-) -
I used a normal size cast iron frying pan. It was to big as the mix did not cover the pan and did not climb up the side. But it was excellent and I will try again with a smaller pan. -
So easy and delicious! I always order these at IHOP now I have them whenever I'm in the mood. I made spiced peaches from a jar I had in the pantry and topped the pancake with them. Today having for lunch with sugar and cinnamon applesauce.

Growing up, my mom didn't keep any junk food in the house so if I wanted something sweet I had to find a way to make it (or go to a friend's house)! I loved looking through my mom's recipe books and trying to find recipes that I could make. I baked a lot of home made bread from Betty Crocker's Big Red Book, and every holiday, my mom and I would make pies together from scratch. I didn't actually get interested in cooking main courses until I got married and realized that I had to actually put dinner on the table every night. Just as I was starting to get the hang of it, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in May of 2007. This meant that I had to learn a whole new way of cooking - gluten free. I have accepted this as a new challenge and have fallen even more in love with cooking and baking. There is nothing like the feeling I get when I have success with creating a new recipe! My inspiration usually comes from a craving for something that I can't have because it is not gluten free. I immediately go back to my kitchen and learn how to make it myself! I also focus on creating recipes with all natural ingredients and avoiding artificial or added sugars.
