The Oven Baked Pancake, also known as the Dutch Baby or David Eyre's Pancake, is a classic breakfast dish that hails from Germany and the United States. It is a cross between a popover and a pancake, and can be served sweet or savory. The pancake rises dramatically in the oven, thanks to the steam created by the eggs and milk, and then falls slightly as it cools. This creates a perfect vessel for toppings, such as fruit, syrup, or whipped cream.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, milk, eggs, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
3.	In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
4.	Pour in the pancake batter and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
5.	Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
6.	Remove from the oven and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and lemon juice.
7.	Serve warm and enjoy!

PROS

This pancake is quick and easy to make, requiring only a handful of ingredients.

The texture is light, airy, and fluffy, and the taste is similar to a custard.

CONS

Oven-baking this pancake creates a crispy and slightly charred crust on the edges, which may not be to everyone’s taste.
