What happens when you take a Yorkshire Pudding, give it a travel visa, and make it a breakfast food? You get a "Dutch Baby", also known as German Oven Pancake. And what happens when Vrghr gets his paws on one? Wuffy sticks BACON into it! *grins*
The basic recipe here is courtesy of
ChristopherDavies, who was chatting in the comment section of wuffy's Virgin Silk Eggnog recipe (found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22111179/ ). Chris mentioned Dutch Baby pancakes, and wondered if wuffy would like the recipe for them? Need you even ask? It's FOOD! Of COURSE wuffy wants the recipes!! *LAUGHS*
Once he'd supplied that, we got to chatting about variations on the original theme, which basically just dusts the top with powdered sugar and squeezes some fresh lemon juice on it prior to eating. While that definitely sounded good, you KNOW Vrghr can't leave things without messing with them. Wuff started speculating on lining the bottom of the pan with apples (sugar & cinnamon), peaches, berries... And Chris suggested bacon... and...
Well, here you have it! A bacon and brown sugar cinnamon infused Dutch Baby!
And Oh! My! Stars! This is so GOOD!! As tender as a souffle, rich and eggy inside like a Yorkshire pudding. Perfect for breakfast flavors. But then the brown sugar, cinnamon, and bacon come in! Gently, not overpowering the eggy goodness. But enough to kick things up a notch or two. YUM!!!
Wuffy might just eat this whole skillet full! You'll have to roll Vrghr off to his couch to "potato" there for a few hours while his tummy resumes a more mobile size! *giggles*
A few notes about this dish.
- The batter is very thin and has no leavening agents except the eggs. So make sure you blend/whip plenty of air into them!
- HOT skillet! HOT!! Cast iron holds the heat. Use one if you can!
- Refrigerate the batter while the skillet heats. It stabilizes the egg foam somewhat = puffier pancake
- Get the batter into the hot skillet IMMEDIATELY, then back into the oven
- Pre-cook the bacon a bit, until its chewy, not crisp. It won't cook properly from the raw state if you just lay it in the bottom
- Get the butter, brown sugar, and pre-cooked bacon strips into the base of the hot skillet ASAP. Swirl the butter to get it melting well, but don't worry if it isn't completely melted. A tiny lump is okay
- The pancake will "fall" and deflate when you remove it from the oven. Pretty much starts immediately. So if you want a pretty table display, have your trivet (HOT skillets burn tables!) out and your places ready and quick like a cheetah get it to the spot!
The sugar in the batter and the extra in the bottom with the bacon makes this a pretty sweet dish to start with. You probably won't need any syrup to go with.
Thank you once again
ChristopherDavies for this wonderful and delicious idea! A very full wuffy is Glad you suggested it!

You are very Very welcome! *HUGS*
This has a fantastic flavor! Poor wuff is so full, he can hardly move. *giggles* Almost finished that whole thing! And that's a 12 inch skillet! But it was so GOOD!
Thank you SO much for the recipe! Totally YUM!
Hope you didn't mind the alterations, like using the skillet instead of the glass casserole. They worked out quite well!

Vrghr LOVES those pans! A very well-crafted and pre-finished cast iron. A bit expensive, but should last generations!
You can find them here: https://finexusa.com/
Vrghr supported them during a Kickstarter campaign

Well Sir! Maybe we will make this a memorable New Years day dish! Just because it looks and is described so well.
I love that octagonal skillet you use. I'd love to find one; as what I have here are round (and some from viet-nam, made from iron scavenged from US war vehicles)
Well anyways, my friend, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Thank you! These are really not too tough to create, and make a wonderful and filling breakfast treat!
You can find the unusual skillet wuffy used at Finex. They aren't cheap, sadly, but are very high quality, crafted with care and professionalism. They ought to last generations! Vrghr has been VERY happy with them, but you might want to catch up on your arm exercises before you plan a day's worth of cooking on them - they're also not light. *grins*

Happy New Year to you, too!

I made this for my Skwirl this morning! I love fixing her something new and different on New Years Day so we remember it next year! It is indeed as tasty as you've said, and I'm soon going to make it for my parents as well!
