I really haven’t talked much about the importance of breakfast food. Now, I’m not talking about the importance of a meal that may be called breakfast. I am talking about the foods associated with that meal.

There is one such food that is, head and shoulders, above all other breakfast foods (waffles). I wish to make clear that the food I am going to talk about is a clear second to the first food (waffles) – the Dutch baby.

Dutch babies are soooo awesome. For those unlucky souls who have never eaten a Dutch baby, imagine a cross between a pancake and a soufflé with a tad of crepe thrown in. When you are served one in a restaurant, it is dusted with powdered sugar and festooned with a lemon wedge. Your better establishments will also offer a selection of syrups and fruit toppings.

I had a “hankerin’” for one this last week, and I figured the odds of getting to a “breakfast place” to acquire one was low (“going out” = “cheeseburgers”). Fortunately, the universe has provided Google, and within minutes I had a number of recipes at hand.

I figured out what the common ingredients were (cast iron), and was able to make such a delight in my own home.

Sadly, I cannot repeat the feat as I am now out of syrup.
