Oma Dutch Pancakes, also known as Dutch baby pancakes or German pancakes, are a popular breakfast item that originated in Europe. Unlike traditional small pancakes, these pancakes are thick and puffy and can be made in a large skillet or oven-safe dish. The pancakes are typically served hot with sweet toppings like fruit, whipped cream or maple syrup. Oma Dutch Pancakes are perfect for breakfast or brunch, and can be customized to suit individual tastes with a variety of toppings. They are also a fun dish to make with children, and can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
2.	In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and oil together until light and frothy.
3.	Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
4.	Stir in the milk to make a smooth batter.
5.	Heat a non-stick pancake pan over medium heat and ladle in a small amount of the batter, tilting the pan to coat the base evenly.
6.	Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the pancake is set and golden brown on the underside.
7.	Flip the pancake over and cook for a further minute or until golden brown.
8.	Repeat with the remaining batter.
9.	Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fruit or whipped cream.
