As the name suggests, Puffy Canadian Pancakes originated in Canada and are part of the country's culinary heritage. Known also as Dutch baby pancakes, these pancakes are baked rather than fried. They are a cross between a pancake and a crepe and are usually served with whipped cream, syrup or fruit toppings. Puffy Canadian Pancakes are a popular brunch or breakfast dish and can easily be customized with various fruit toppings or spices.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
2.	In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy.
3.	Add the flour, milk, salt, and nutmeg and whisk until smooth.
4.	Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter.
5.	Pour the batter into the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven.
6.	Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pancake is puffy and golden brown.
7.	Remove from the oven and sprinkle icing sugar over the pancake.
8.	Slice and serve with fresh fruit or preserves.
