German Pancakes, also known as Dutch Babys, are a classic breakfast dish that originated in Germany. This recipe from Woman's Day puts a modern twist on the traditional dish by incorporating lemon zest and vanilla for added flavor and sweetness. The pancake is made by pouring the batter into a hot skillet and baking it in the oven until it has puffed up and turned golden. The end result is a light and fluffy pancake that is perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast or brunch with friends and family.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt.
3.	Add in the eggs and milk and whisk until well combined.
4.	Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once melted, slowly pour in the batter.
5.	Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake has puffed up and turned golden.
6.	Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, fresh berries, or maple syrup.
