Dutch Baby Pancake

I have seen many recipes for Dutch Baby Pancakes over the years, but never made nor tasted one. This year, we decided it would be perfect for Christmas Breakfast. What a happy choice! We followed the very clear instructions, choosing to mix by hand with a whisk. We had no problem avoiding lumps. We put it in the oven, not really sure what to expect. When I peeked after it was about halfway baked, it had already reached such heights we needed to quickly pull out the topmost shelf in the oven--and this despite the fact that we were using a particularly deep cast iron skillet. The finished 'Baby' was gorgeous, and even tho it fell a bit (as predicted) it was still quite the puffed-up number. We had it with powdered sugar and strawberry jam and absolutely loved it. I think we'll be making this again and again. Lots of variations come to mind---apple filling, other jams, even savory versions.
