Dutch Baby

We have not felt like eating. I have not felt like cooking. Both Bob and I have this cough and lack of energy. I have been wanting pancakes, but I did not want to stand and pour and flip, etc. So I made us a Dutch Baby. Nothing really Dutch about it except for its name. It is described as a cross between a skillet pancake and a popover. I have never had a popover that I know of. I opened a can of applesauce and warmed it, with a touch of pie seasoning in it. We put that on top of our Dutch Baby. Comfort food at its finest.

I've never heard of this but it sounds like it would really hit the spot.

It is a sort of big, fluffy pancake, often served with sugar and berries. Just to give you an idea, I attach e photo.

I know we will get there eventually. This morning, Monday, I had a lot of mental energy and I liked that feeling.

What is the problem? I know I cooked mine a little too long.

I've been craving pancakes lately, too. I've seen pictures of Dutch babies, but have never tried them. I do love popovers, though. But I ended up having my leftover French onion soup and a slice of Italian bread from dinner last night. I'll get those pancakes eventually. We have blueberries in the freezer I plan to add to them.

Yum for the blueberries. I finally also made pancakes and have them in the refrigerator to warm up as I need them.

I feel much more satisfied if I eat a small meal than if I just mindlessly munch all evening.

@GardenGerty Yeah I can understand that I feel the same. If I munch it feels like I never stop being hungry.

I like Dutch Baby, it's good with sugar, a syrup or preserves.

I have made them before. I liked that this was not a huge recipe, so not a lot of left over.

It was good and simple. Not as heavy on flour as a pancake.

It is good, yet simple. A little breakfast meat with it is good.

Prayers are always appreciated, and illness often stays too long. It was good and really a treat for me.
