The Deacon family had a joke going over the holidays on the sister in laws having to prove their Deacon worthiness. The ability to cook Dutch Babies became one of the challenges. Any wife that failed would be banished to the island in the lake. Fortunately we ran out of time before the Deacon challenge. I thought I should start practicing to be prepared for future Deacon gatherings. I don't want to sleep on the island. The results were good, but not quite as good as Dave's.
It is so much fun to watch the dutch baby rise in the oven. I give this recipe 4 cookies. If you count 8 servings, there are 4 points per serving.
Ingredients
Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Cup flour
1/4 cup corn starch
grated zest from 1 lemon
1 tsp salt
3 lg eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Wipe oil on all sides and bottom of a large skillet (that is oven proof). Place skillet in the oven for about 10 minutes.
2. Mix together flour, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt in large mixing bowl.
3. In another bowl, whisk the 3 eggs. When the eggs start to become frothy add the milk, butter, and vanilla. Whisk all ingredients until well combined.
4. Slowly add egg mixture into the flour mixture. Whisk until there are no lumps. It may help to add in batches.
5. Pour batter into heated skillet and bake. It is time to take it out when it puffs up and the edges are a deep golden color. It took about 18 minutes for me...but be sure to watch yours.
6. To serve, cut into sections. Serve with powdered sugar and a lemon wedge. We also do a little butter. Enjoy!

Eight servings out of 1 dutch baby? I always thought they served 2..... kind of explains a lot don't you think.
By the way, anonymous is me (Barb).
I didn't say how many servings I ate. I figure I could do a baby sized serving for a dutch baby. Makes me feel better about the points.
