Another Dutch Baby recipe

By jeff and alli -

 For so long I used my mission compagne's recipe.  She is the one that introduced me to dutch babies.  Then I found another recipe that made more at once which was handy so I switched to that.  I saw this recipe and decided to give it a try, and I made 2 batches because I knew a single batch wouldn't satisfy my kids.  I liked this recipe.  I would say our family isn't too picky when it comes to dutch babies.  This recipe puffed up even higher than my regular recipe, which is always fun.

I made one batch with whole milk and one with non dairy milk and if my memory is correct, we didn't notice a difference.  I need to check that out again because if that is true, that is good news for me. I try to limit the dairy, especially since we seem to love cheese and really don't need more dairy.


Rees likes his dutch babies with applesauce or lemon and sugar.  The girls seem to prefer Nutella.  I can eat one plain and I can easily eat it with berries and cream, or Nutella, or lemon and sugar....


Ingredients:

1 Tablespoons salted butter

4 large eggs

2/3 cups whole milk

2/3 cup flour (so, I often use white wheat, which 100% makes them heavier, so if I'm in the mood for better taste, I stick with white white flour)

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 F with a rack in the center of your oven.  

2. In a small saucepan, melt 2 T butter. Set aside to cool a bit.

3. In a blender or in a bowl, mix together: eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, salt and cooled melted butter.

4. Place a deep pie dish in the oven with the remaining 2 T flour.  (you can use a 10-12 cast iron skillet, or an 8x8 pan.  I use our larger pie dish over our small pie dish.). As soon as butter has melted (keep an eye on it), remove pan from oven.

5. Pour batter into hot dish and put the dish back into the oven.  Cook for 20-25 minutes.  Don't open your oven before it rises or you won't get the soufflé you want.

6. After it has puffed and is golden brown on edges, remove from oven and serve warm with whatever toppings you like.

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t

Galette des Rois

January 6 is the Epiphany, a day to celebrate when the 3 kings visited Baby Jesus.  I think it is a Catholic holiday.  I learned about it while in France and love the tradition of making a galette des rois/Kings Cake.   The tradition goes you make the cake with a hidden bean inside.  The youngest person at the table sits under the table.  As a slice of cake is plated, the youngster names who gets that slice.  (make sure you slice the cake so you have only as many slices as you do people eating the cake)  Whoever finds the hidden bean is the King or Queen for the evening and wears a crown.  This year, I think I improved my recipe, with more almond filling than I normally add.  I thought it was going to end up messy but instead it made it yummier.  I had some extra filling and decided to make a mini kings cake with the extra puff pastry.  I added some fresh raspberries which tasted quite yummy all warm in the cake.  Though I think I prefer it without the berries.  Try it out, it is reall
