Dutch Baby

If you have never had a German pancake called a Dutch baby you have got to try one.

I have had these for years at the Original house of pancakes in Oregon.
I have only tried to make twice but this is not a bad recipe.
Find Recipe HERE
I like them smothered in powdered sugar butter and Yes use the Lemon or lemon Curd or brandied Lemon all very tasty and a good moms day breakfast.

Brandied Lemon Butter French Toast

INGREDIENTS
4 eggs
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 thick slices bread
Butter
Powdered sugar, optional

BRANDIED LEMON BUTTER
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
Juice of 2 lemons
4 teaspoons grated lemon rind
3-ounces brandy

In a shallow dish, beat eggs, sugar, salt, milk, and vanilla. Soak bread in the above mixture.
Heat butter over medium-high heat and cook each slice of bread until slightly brown on each side.
Serve with Brandied Lemon Butter and lemon slices. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
FOR BRANDIED LEMON BUTTER - Melt butter over low heat. Spoon off any foam that forms. Pour into a dish, leaving behind any sediment in the pan.
Wash the pan, pour butter back in the pan and add the sugar. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice, rind, and brandy; stir until smooth.
Pour over hot French toast.
