This Dutch baby pancake recipe is a childhood favorite of mine. Dutch babies are German pancakes made in one large cast iron skillet or two to three smaller cast iron skillets. These eggy German pancakes are delicious as a base for adding a wide variety of additional flavors, from sweet to savory!
ham or bacon(cooked, chopped -stir-in or as a topping when serving)
mushrooms(sauteed - stir-in or as a topping when serving)
cheese(shredded cheese, cheddar, swiss, monterey jack, mozzarella, etc are all tasty stir-ins or toppings)

Instructions
Before starting your batter, place a 12 inch cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
In a medium or large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature eggs until light and fluffy. Add milk, vanilla extract, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon then stir to combine. Whisk in the flour gradually until the batter is smooth.
Remove the cast iron skillet from your preheated oven, reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and melt the butter in the cast iron skillet. Be sure to swirl the butter in the skillet to coat the bottom and sides with the melted butter.
Pour all of the batter into the hot skillet and place in the oven. Bake the Dutch Baby for 12-15 minutes, or until puffy (typically above the sides of the skillet) and bubbled. The Dutch Baby will be a light golden brown when cooked, and may have some areas that appear 'wet' but that is usually pooled butter.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Top with confectioners sugar and lemon juice, fruit, or your favorite syrup or jam.

Notes
*Although you can use whatever milk you have on hand, using low-fat or non-fat milk will make the Dutch Baby Pancake puff higher in the baking process. Like a souffle, the baked pancake will start to deflate once out of the oven so be prepared to serve it immediately.https://bakeitwithlove.com/dutch-baby-pancake-recipe-cast-iron-skillet-dutch-babies/
