Puffy/German/Dutch Baby Pancakes
To Begin:
Pre-heat to 400 degrees
Preparation:
Put the butter in a oven proof skillit or 9x11-inch baking dish.
Melt the butter in the preheated oven, making sure it doesn't burn, about 5 minutes.
Whisk the eggs, flour, milk, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl; don't overbeat, set aside.
Pour the batter into the baking dish with the melted butter.
Bake:
Return to the oven and bake until the pancake is puffed and no longer moist in the center, about 20 minutes.
Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes.
This allowa the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom which makes the pancake soggy.
Serve:
Slice the pancake into wedges on a serving platter or cutting board
Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar through a sieve.
Then put on whatever you want.
