Banana Dutch Baby Pancake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the butter in a large, ovenproof, nonstick saute pan and place in the oven.
• Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the eggs, flour, warm milk, sugar, vanilla extract and pinch of salt, and blend on medium-high speed until uniform. (If mixing by hand, combine the eggs with the milk until the mixture is light yellow and no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously to remove the lumps, about 30 seconds.)
• Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. The butter should be melted. Swirl the butter around the pan to coat completely, and then pour the remaining butter into the batter and pulse to blend. Pour the batter into the hot pan and return the pan to the oven. Cook until the pancake is puffed in the center and golden brown along the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom and rendering the pancake soggy. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cooled slightly. Slice the pancake into 8 wedges on a serving platter or cutting board.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425* F.
• Either melt butter in an oven-proof skillet and remove from heat OR melt it in a regular saucepan and pour into a prepared (liberally buttered) pie pan.
• In a blender, combine the eggs and milk and whirl until foamy and pale.
• Add to the blender the vanilla, flour, sugar and salt.
• Whirl until fully blended.
• Pour batter into the melted butter--it will look like a dish of white soup with slicks of oil on top (not appetizing at all, I know).
• Bake in the oven about 18 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
• Slice when the "puff" has deflated and serve with jam or sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 and put a cast iron skillet inside to get hot.
• Whisk or beat eggs.
• Add milk and oil and whisk again.
• Add flour and salt and whisk very well.
• Remove skillet from oven, melt butter and swirl to coat entire surface [wiping sides with a paper towel dipped in the butter].
• Pour in batter all at once.
• Return to oven and bake for 18-20 minutes - it's better not to be too golden brown on the underside - and may take a few (delicious) tries to figure what degree of doneness YOU like best with your oven and pan.
• Remove and serve at once garnished with slim lemon wedges and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar.
• I would think you could use a souffle or casserole dish but haven't tried it myself.
