My life is so busy, unfortunately that leaves little time for blogging these days. What I do find time for is Saturday mornings full of good breakfast food and music and lively conversation with my husband and 3 boys.
I find myself making dutch baby pancakes quite often as its one of their favorites. My previous recipe is still my favorite. I have tried a handful of different ones on the web but this is the one I come back to. I make a thick pancake in my small 8″ dutch oven, or I make a thinner version in my large 14″ cast iron skillet. (I now call the thick version “double dutch”.)
Feast your eyes.
