In Honor of Pancake week

My friend Kari's blog (it is amazing, just click on Disco Mom) is celebrating Pancake week and when I saw this recipe on the Today show yesterday I couldn't resist.  (I use some Martha Stewart recipes but it has to be super easy)  I had this in the oven in less than 5 min and was able to walk away for 20!


Dutch baby pancake
Martha Stewart
Serves 4; Prep time: 5 min; Total time: 25 min

INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°. In a medium cast-iron or ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium; set aside.

In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, salt, vanilla and 1/4 cup sugar. Blend until foamy, about 1 minute. Pour batter into skillet; bake until pancake is puffed and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Working quickly, dot pancake with 1 tablespoon butter, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and lemon juice. Slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
