Recipe

Oven Pancake (Dutch baby pancake) with roasted cherries -

This fun, easy to make, puffy pancake, also called a Dutch baby or German pancake, is similar to a popover. Top it with roasted cherries for breakfast or brunch.  Add a scoop of ice cream to serve it as a dessert treat.


Ingredients:

Roasted Cherries

  • 1 cup cherries

  • 1 tsp raw sugar


Pancake

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/3 cup skim milk

  • 1/3 c flour

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp nutmeg

  • Cooking spray

  • 1 Tbsp butter

  • 1 Tbsp powdered sugar


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Cut cherries in half and remove the pits.

  3. Place cherries on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with raw sugar.

  4. Roast for 10 -15 minutes until cherries start to release their juices. Cool on pan.

  5. While cherries are cooling, increase oven temperature to 450 degrees and heat a 9 or 10-inch oven-safe skillet in the oven.

  6. Beat together eggs and milk. Continue beating while adding flour a spoonful at a time.

  7. Mix in salt and nutmeg.

  8. Carefully remove the hot pan from oven, then add the butter and swirl the pan so the butter covers the bottom and sides. If the sides aren’t coated with butter,  apply cooking spray to assure the batter won’t stick

  9. Pour batter into the hot pan and return it to oven. Reduce heat to 400 degrees.

  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until puffy and slightly browned.

  11. Immediately top with cherries and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm

  12. Store any leftover cherries in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They are a delicious quick snack.
