Dutch Babies Montana-Style

"One of the early recipes in our household - we like to make single serving babies in 6 inch cast iron skillets because they are sooo pretty when inverted onto a plate (that was what we had from the second hand store - LOL). Gotta have accompaniments (& eaters)ready before pulling them out of the oven though - they come out puffed like a souffle & the center falls fast, leaving a crispy edge & custardy center. Great with thick rashers of bacon & maple or huckleberry syrup (especially when it's really cold out)though others love these with fresh fruit, powdered sugar & whipped or sour cream."

directions

  • Have the bacon at least started.
  • Place cast iron skillets in oven.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Whisk milk, eggs & salt together.
  • Add flour to liquid & whisk until just blended.
  • When the oven has come to heat put 1 Tablespoon butter in each of 2 6inch skillets (or into a large skillet if willing to cut to serve) and swirl to coat bottom & sides of skillet. Don't worry if it browns & foams - this makes it yum!
  • Pour batter into hot buttered skillets & put back in oven.
  • Cook 15 minutes until center is puffed & golden-brown & no longer jiggly - will take 5 to 7 more minutes with larger skillet.
  • To serve, invert onto plate, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar & serve. FAST!

  1. I had never heard of these until I was "Recipezaar Surfing" and came across this. Intrigued I searched under "Dutch Babies" and found 11 recipes listed. I decided to make yours and we love this. So many options when serving, I am not even going to try any of the others because this worked out so well. >>~~Thank you~~<< so much for sharing this. I made it in one large cast iron skillet because I do not own small one. Did not change a thing. ~*This is 'company for breakfast' good with all the options you have for toppings*~
     
  2. Turned out great. Just like My buddies sister used to make for us the morning after a late night of drinking.

<p>First about Buster: Buster moved onto whatever comes next on February 26, 2008. He was just shy of five years old. I miss him terribly. <br />He came into our lives when he ran out in front of my car late one night as I was driving home. A just under 4 pound ball of kitten fluff, complete with an ostrich boa tail that stayed straight up as he assessed his new domain. He became a 19 pound longhaired beast who guarded our house (he followed any new guests or servicepeople the entire time they are on the property) &amp; even killed copperheads (among other things with his hunting buddy, Fergus the short-tailed)! Friends never saw his formidible side as he smiled at them &amp; uttered the most incongruent kitten-like mews as he threaded legs! He liked to ride in the car &amp; came to the beach. <br />There are Buster-approved recipes in my offerings - however, HE decided which he wanted to consider - Buster demonstrated he liked pumpkin anything - ALOT -LOL!!! <br /> <br />Copperhead count 2006 - Buster 2 <br /> (10 inchers w/yellow tails) <br /> 2007 - Buster &amp; Roxie 1 <br /> (a 24 incher!) <br />Buster woken from beauty sleep - <br />http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/62264/DSCN0335.JPG <br />Big whiskers - <br />http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/62264/DSCN0333.JPG <br /> <br />For those of you who gave kind condolences - thank you so very much. <br />http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=250301 <br /> <br /> <br />I love to cook &amp; incorporate techniques from Southern/Mid Atlantic roots (grits, eastern NC BBQ shoulders, Brunswick stew, steamed crabs &amp; shrimp &amp; shellfish, hushpuppies, cornbread, greens, shad roe, scrapple) with Pacific Rim foods &amp; techniques aquired while living in Pacific Northwest, fish &amp; game recipes learned while living in Rocky Mountain region &amp; foods/techniques learned travelling to the Big Island &amp; up into BC &amp; Alberta &amp; into the Caribbean. The Middle Eastern/African likes I have are remnants of my parents who lived for many years in North Africa &amp; Mediterranean before I was thought of. Makes for wide open cooking! <br /> <br />Since moving back east we try to go annually in the deep winter to Montreal (Old Montreal auberges &amp; La Reine) &amp; Quebec City (Winter Carnival &amp; Chateau Frontenac)- for unctuous foie gras &amp; real cheeses, French &amp; Canadian meals prepared &amp; served exquisitely, fantastic music &amp; wonderful people - with the cold helping burn off some of the calories! <br /> <br />I love putting in our aluminum jonboat &amp; heading across the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) to the barrier islands for foraging &amp; exploring! Bodysurfing is a lifelong sport for me - one that a person's body never seems to forget how to do, once the knack is learned (thank goodness!) <br /> <br />I especially miss cool summers &amp; foggy/drizzly days &amp; fall mushroom foraging/anytime of year hot springing in WA, OR, MT, ID, BC &amp; Alberta.</p>
