Pannekoeken (Dutch Pancakes)
Serves: 6
 
These simple light and fluffy oven-baked pancakes make the perfect addition to a festive brunchy meal!
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup butter (1/2 a stick)
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 cup of half and half (may substitute regular low fat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • Dash of nutmeg
  • 4 eggs
  • Toppings (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Melt the butter in a 9" cast iron skillet or cake pan in the hot oven.
  3. While butter is melting, whisk together the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
  4. Once butter is melted, remove skillet from the oven and fill with batter.
  5. Bake pannekoeken for 8 minutes, remove from the oven and flip it over using two large spatulas, being careful not to break it. May sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar combination or place fresh fruit in the bottom of the skillet before returning flipped pannekoeken to pan if desired.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes. Pannekoeken will be very fluffy and most likely rise higher than the edges of the pan.
  7. Cut the pannekoeken into wedges and serve immediately as it will shrink down the longer it is out of the oven. Sprinkle with fresh squeezed lemon juice and powdered sugar or your favorite pancake toppings.
