Magic Buffer Breakfast


For the last school day of the year, we made a special breakfast. It's traditionally called 'Dutch Baby' or 'German Pancake', but we dubbed it 'Magic Buffer Breakfast' in our house. Cameron loves trains and will sometimes only try a new food if you rename it with a train theme. If you cut this dish into long strips, it looks like a train track with the puffed up edge being the buffer.

German Pancake
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour (I used white whole wheat)
couple dashes of salt
4 large eggs

Blend in blender or in a tall container with an immersion blender. Blending well will incorporate air to help the batter puff up while cooking.

In 8x4 (small) baking dish, melt 2 Tbsp butter in a 420 degree oven till bubbling and turning brown. Pour batter over melted butter and bake about 15-20 minutes, or until it smells like yummy butter and eggs.

Serve with syrup, fruit, powdered sugar and/or yogurt.
