Dutch Babies

My mom has been making these ever since I can remember.  

They are sort of a "special occasion" breakfast.

Hope your family enjoys them as much as I do.

**p.s. they are also referred to as German Pancakes.

1/2 c. butter

1 1/2 c. flour

1 1/2 c. milk

6 eggs

Put half of butter in one glass pie dish and the other half in another.  Set in a 425 degree oven, just until butter is melted.  Do not burn the butter!  I always turn the oven on, put the pie plates in, prepare the batter and by the time the batter is ready the butter is perfectly melted.

In a blender, mix eggs for 1 minute.  With motor running, pour in the milk, then add flour a spoonful at a time.  When all is added, whirl for 30 seconds.

Remove pie dishes from oven and pour even amounts of batter into each dish.  Bake until puffed up around edges for 20-25 minutes.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Topping ideas: syrup, fresh berries, homemade whipped cream, cinnamon and sugar, lemon juice, jam, anything that sounds good!

For our family, I split the recipe in half and only use 1 pie dish.
