Remember this?

Breakfast time.

Have you ever had a Dutch Baby Pancake before? It is an eggy skillet bake somewhat like a sweet Yorkshire Pudding.

Dutch Babies are great to whip up when you are cooking for a bunch of people. Quick, easy to make and fun to see all puffed up as it is removed from the oven. The pancake sinks as you cut it.

The Cranberry Orange Syrup is a lovely complement. My syrup turned out more like compote, but was delicious nonetheless.

Dutch Baby With Cranberry Orange Syrup

Ingredients:

1 cup whole milk
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar

Directions:

1. Move rack to the middle position in oven and pre-heat oven to 425℉.

2. Whisk milk, vanilla, eggs and salt in a medium bowl; vigorously whisk in flour until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.

3. Let stand for a few minutes and whisk again (or use a blender).

4. Bring marmalade, cranberries and 1/4 cup water to a simmer over medium heat; continue to simmer to light syrup consistency, just a few minutes; cover and keep warm.

5. Meanwhile heat butter in a heavy bottom skillet (cast iron works well) over medium heat until light golden brown.

6. Pour milk mixture into skillet.

7. Transfer to oven and bake until puffed and golden (15-17 minutes).

8. Without removing Dutch Baby from oven, sprinkle with sugar. Turn on oven broiler and broil until puffy and golden brown, a few minutes longer.

9. Serve immediately from the skillet and drizzle with sauce.

Serves 4 to 6

Recipe from Pam Anderson in USA Weekend

The Strange Death Of Liberal England are a band out of…..gasp….England!

The lead singer’s voice makes me think of Broken Records.

The guitars in Shadows makes me think of British Sea Power.

Makes me think that I like everything about this song. The perfect rock out lullaby to sing to your (dutch) baby.

“Close your eyes”

The Strange Death Of Liberal England-Shadows

This clip is so strange. The music is such a racket that it is actually kind of good.
