Baked Pancake (Dutch Baby)

I realized this morning that I've never shared this delightful breakfast dish with you- shame on me!  A few months ago, I got tired of the standard Cheerios-and-milk shtick and set out in search of breakfast items that could either be A) cooked ahead of time or B) thrown together so quickly that it doesn't disrupt my morning routine.  Baked pancakes, aka Dutch babies, actually fit both of those requirements! 

Subtly sweet, the dish is substantial enough to last you all morning.  I like to enjoy a slice with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.
