Dutch Baby
Dutch baby was always a special weekend breakfast treat while growing up. My parents always used an old cuisinart recipe, but I found this new recipe with lots of lemon zest that I just love. Give it a try and see if your family enjoys it! If you'd like, skip the powdered sugar and lemon juice and serve with maple syrup or a fruit topping. It's also delicious when you add crumbled bacon or sausage to the batter right before you put it in the oven.
