• Preheat oven to 425°. In a 12-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.

Pour batter into hot pan; sprinkle with Parmesan., Bake until top is puffed and sides are golden brown and crisp, 20-25 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 425 degrees F. Whisk the eggs, milk, flour, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl or measuring cup until smooth (a few lumps are fine); cover the batter, and refrigerate until needed.
• Cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up any big chunks with the back of a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer to a small bowl, and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter to the skillet. Once the butter is bubbling, add the mushrooms, parsley, shallots and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sausage. Put the skillet in the oven to heat the mushroom-sausage mixture through, 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Put margarine and sausage into the baking dish and place in the oven to heat about 5 minutes before you add the batter. Keep a close eye on it because it will burn if you let it.
• Blend eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a blender or with a mixer. Add the flour 1/4c at a time until just incorporated evenly (don't overmix otherwise you'll activate the gluten in the flour and have a thick dutch baby rather than a fluffy one).
• Add batter immediately after it's ready to hot baking dish.
• Sprinkle cheese over the batter and bake for 20-25 minutes, until puffy and Golden brown.
• Let it cool a few minutes before cutting- it will deflate during this period.
• Enjoy!

• Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the Dutch baby is golden brown and has risen up the sides of the pan considerably.
• While the Dutch baby bakes, make the filling: Add the pancetta to a cold, large, high-walled skillet. Turn the heat to medium and begin rendering the fat from the pancetta, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes. When the pancetta is crisp, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat behind.
• Add the shallot to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the sweet potato to the pan and season with ½ teaspoon of salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is golden brown and tender.
• Add the kale and cook for 1-2 minutes, until just wilted. Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

• Blend eggs in a blender on high speed until very frothy, about 1 minute. With motor running, gradually stream in milk, then 2 Tbsp. butter; blend another 30 seconds. Add flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper and blend just to combine. (This batter doubles well if you want to scale up.)
• Carefully remove skillet from oven and swirl remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in skillet to coat. Immediately pour batter into skillet (butter will brown quickly, so have batter at the ready to prevent burning). Bake pancake until puffed and brown around edges, 20-25 minutes.
