Dutch baby pancake, also known as German pancake, is a classic dish that's been around for ages. Originating in Germany, it became popular in the USA in the early 1900s. This giant pancake serves as an ideal breakfast option and provides a break from the traditional pancake. It's light and fluffy, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The crust is crispy while the inside remains soft and moist. As a bonus, this recipe requires minimal effort and everyday ingredients.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2.	In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until light and frothy.
3.	Add in flour, sugar, salt and whisk until a smooth batter is formed.
4.	Add butter to a cast-iron skillet and melt it over medium-high heat.
5.	Pour the batter into the skillet and let it cook for a minute.
6.	Put skillet in the oven and bake until pancake puffs and turns golden-brown (we recommend 15-20 minutes).
7.	Remove from the oven and serve hot.
