    with Raspberry Sauce and Fruit

    This week is Mardi Gras, the beginning of Lent. And I thought a Dutch Baby recipe would be perfect for this week. Let me explain:

    Many of us have heard that “Mardi Gras” is also called Fat Tuesday. Do you know why? (No, it’s not body shaming). Fat Tuesday is the last chance to “feast” before the Lenten season, traditionally a time of fasting. However, few know that Fat Tuesday is also called “Pancake Day” so apparently we’re supposed to start our day with pancakes and keep gorging right through dinner! Tough job....somebody’s gotta do it.

    What is a Dutch baby

    What does this have to do with today’s recipe, originally found on allrecipes?  Well, a Dutch Baby is neither Dutch, nor a baby. It is considered a German pancake, an oversized pancake. Only, somehow, as you’ll see, it can be so much more!

    How to make this big pancake

    The basic ingredients are the same as for pancake batter: milk, flour and egg. But for this "pancake", the batter has less flour and more egg. And instead of individual stovetop pancakes, this is one big eggy pancake baked in the oven.

    raw

    Besides its taste, what makes a Dutch Baby unique is it’s appearance. While baking, it will puff up and form interesting folds subsiding a little when removed from the oven. But the look is one-of-a-kind. Fun! Your kids will be impressed.

    And we’re only half done. Once it’s out of the oven your pancake is ready for sweetness.

    Dutch Baby

    The basic way to “dress” the Dutch Baby is with a little squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Yummy! But I’m not going to stop there.

    Fruit filling in the pancake

    How about some fresh fruit? Preferably berries and some sliced banana.

    To take it completely over the top, I add raspberry sauce. This is the same recipe I used for the Meringue Hearts and I also made a recipe for making berry sauce from frozen berries – it’s one of those all-purpose sauces that just work!

    You could also add a dollop of whipped cream, but, I do have my limits - .

    Oh, go ahead! It’s Mardi Gras!

        Had my first Dutch Baby last year and they have became a favorite of mine ever since. This recipe was delicious and the raspberry sauce took it a level up.

        It all depends upon how hungry you are! Once you add all the fruit it is actually very filling. I ate about 1/4-1/3 and the Carnivore ate the rest 🙂
