The Dutch Baby, also known as a German Pancake or Puff Pancake, is a light and airy pancake that is typically made in a cast-iron skillet in the oven. It is believed to have originated in Seattle in the early 1900s, and has since become a popular breakfast or brunch item in North America. The Dutch Baby is similar to a crepe, but thicker and more custardy in texture. It can be served with a variety of toppings, such as fruit, syrup, jam, or whipped cream.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2.	In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, and salt.
3.	Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat and swirl it to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet with butter.
4.	Pour the batter into the skillet and transfer it to the oven.
5.	Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
6.	Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
