Easy Brunch: Popover Pancake



I woke up on Saturday morning craving both pancakes and eggs. I knew I wasn't hungry enough to eat both, so I thought - why not have popover!

Popover pancake, also known as Dutch babies, are super quick to make, and taste delicious! They are made with eggs, but have the consistency of a pancake - best of both worlds.

I usually only eat popover pancake once a year. As a family tradition, my sister makes it every Christmas morning, it's something we all look forward to. Other than that, I never eat it. But, I whipped one up on Saturday and was very pleased with the results!




You'll need:

2 T salted butter
4 eggs
1 cup milk (I use skim or 1%)
1 cup flour
Toppings: syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, jam, yogurt (anything you like!)

How to:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F

Once the oven is heated, melt 2T salted butter in pan. Most popovers are cooked in a cast iron skillet, the pancake "pops" better in a rounded dish, but I only had a 9x13 pan -still works!

Once the butter has melted, remove the pan from the oven. Be careful not to overheat the butter or brown it.

While the butter is in the oven melting, mix eggs and milk. Blend. Then add in flour, and stir until batter is smooth.

Pour batter into the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Place back in oven.

 

Cook about 10-15 minutes or until the pancake "pops" and the edges are golden brown. Mine turned out a bit lopsided, but still tasted delicious!




Serve anyway you like. I like mine topped with yogurt, granola and fruit. My boyfriend enjoyed his with peanut butter, syrup, granola and berries! Other ideas: jam, powdered sugar, nutella, whipped cream, nuts.
