I know most people know Dutch Babies as a sweet breakfast food- but not in my family! Sausage and cheese make this breakfast classic more hearty. Ingredients:
4 eggs |
1 cup flour |
1 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1 cup cheese, shredded (use a good melting type like cheddar or jack) |
1 cup cooked sausage (you can use crumbly sausage or even better, smoked sausage cut into bite sized pieces) |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. Add batter immediately after it's ready to hot baking dish.
5. Sprinkle cheese over the batter and bake for 20-25 minutes, until puffy and Golden brown.
6. Let it cool a few minutes before cutting- it will deflate during this period.
7. Enjoy!
8. Note: this is my family recipe, and it was is told to me as a ratio- 1/4 milk & flour for every egg- feel free to go up or down a size on your baking dish just adjusting according to the ratio!
