Large pancake

The dutch baby that Dennis made with almond flour, no sugar or sweetener, eggy , creamy and buttery.

I would say it is a beautiful success! One of his favorite things to make for breakfast before diabetes, served with strawberries and syrup. Using almond flour, makes it more dense as well as heavy cream instead of milk, Very rich, bland just on its own, but a good base for savory veg. 

Dutch babies were first made in Seattle 1942, a take off on German Pfannkuchen, the "inventor " owned the cafe on Columbia, Manca's. He did not pronounce Deutsch correctly so it was "Dutch". 

1/2 cup butter

6 eggs

1 1/2 cup flour

1 1/2 cup milk

put butter in cast iron pan/skillet- put in oven @ 425 degrees, mix batter, blend eggs at high speed for 1 minute.Gradually add milk, slowly add flour add a pinch of saltMix for 30 seconds. Pour batter into hot butter and bake for 20=25 minutes. Easy peasey. Most recipes ask for added sugar.

Manca's opened in the 20's,  long gone now.  A Huge Dutch baby with a mountain of berries and cream cost 90 cents in the 40's and could feed the entire family. But , of course, that was when a dollar was a dollar and dime was a dime. 

Beware of the waffles. 

Don't let the waiters scare you.

Just up the street from the cafe was Alaska Outfitters, last stop north to get supplies. This was my Dad's favorite shop-. We drove from Wyoming to Seattle just so he could get proper equipment, until my uncle opened a sporting goods store in Denver, which was only a four hour drive on a good day.
