About the bake
We're going all continental in the world of pancakes! This is officially known as a German Pancake, another name for it is a Dutch Baby Pancake. It looks like a giant Yorkshire pudding but has the taste and consistency of a custard tart. You have many choices for serving suggestions. We recommend any of the following: blueberries, lemon slices, Billington's maple syrup, cream, yoghurt or creme fraiche and icing sugar.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 220'c/200'c fan/Gas Mark 7 and put a 25cm cast iron pan or deep round enamel pie dish into the oven to heat up.
Step 2:
Pop the butter in the hot dish to melt, but now work quickly to prepare the batter so the butter doesn’t burn.
Step 3:
Whisk the eggs and the sugar until frothy and pale, then add the milk, flour, vanilla, nutmeg and a pinch of salt and beat until you have a thin, smooth mixture like a Yorkshire pudding batter.
Step 4:
Remove your pan from the oven and swiftly pour in your batter and put straight back into the oven.
Step 5:
Bake for 18 minutes by which time the pancake will be well risen.
Serve hot with your chosen accompaniments
