Dutch Baby

a dutch baby… pancake-ish, but you get a custardy centre and crisp light edges. topped with blackberries. so basically, better than a pancake in every way! (next time i might add sugar and lemon zest into the batter):

Ingredients
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup bread flour or all-purpose flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter
Lemon juice and powdered sugar to taste

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and place the rack in the middle. Put a 10″ cast iron skillet or other heavy ovenproof pan in the oven to get hot and sizzling. Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Add milk, flour, vanilla and cinnamon. Beat a few minutes until the batter is creamy (it’s okay if there are a few lumps). Working quickly, remove the skillet from the oven and add butter, tilting to melt and coat pan. Pour batter into skillet all at once and return immediately to oven. Bake about 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Slice into wedges and top with lemon juice and powdered sugar.

baked apples recipe

Baked Apples with Honey Cream
 Serves 2

Ingredients

• 2 large cooking apples

• 1 small pot of single (regular) cream (approximately 1 cup)

• 2 tablespoons of apple juice

• 3 teaspoons honey

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

1. Wash apples. With a sharp knife, make a shallow cut around the apple just above the middle, and remove the core of apple but not all the way through as this will allow juices to stay in the apple. Put apples into a baking tray, fill holes with apple juice, sprinkle the tops with brown sugar and cook for 25 to 30 minutes in the oven where you cooked the pork chops. Push a sharp knife into the apples to make sure they are cooked. They should be soft.

2. Put a small pot of single cream into a sauce pan, add three teaspoons of honey and heat until the honey is mixed into the cream.

3. To serve, pour hot honey cream into a dessert bowl, and place apple in the middle of the honey cream. Serve hot.
