 Seems everywhere I look these days I see a Dutch Baby.  I had never heard of the soft oven baked pancake before.  But they look spectacular and are very easy to make. this one is inspired by Martha Stewart. Great for a breakfast for guests.  Below is a banana Dutch baby but softened apple works well also.



Ingredients

1 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1 Granny Smith apple or 2 bananas, peeled and sliced

1/3 cup honey

1/4 Teaspoon ground cardamon

3 large organic/free range eggs

3/4 cup milk

3/4 cup plain flour

1/4 Teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon icing sugar

Method

Heat oven to 200 degrees Celsius

Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add butter, and apples or bananna , cook until softened/lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in honey and cardamon and remove from heat.

In a bowl whisk the remaining ingredients apart from the icing sugar pour over the fruit and pop in the hot oven and bake until puffed and brown. About 20 minutes keep and eye on it, and remove when done. 

Dust with icing sugar.

Serve with a dollop of cream or maple syrup.
