Dutch Baby & Of Monsters and Men


 My sister and parents came to visit over the last two weeks, and let me tell you I miss them so much when they're not here! There's always good food, late nights, and lots of laughs. It's so hard to let them leave at the end of their trips. 

I don't usually make anything special when it's just me and the husband in the mornings, but with a group it's always fun to whip something up that's a little sweet. 

This is my mom's recipe of dutch babies and we added some caramelized apples to the top. 

What song's playing?: Mountain Sound by Of Monsters & Men


Dutch Babies:
Oven Temp: 425

Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Butter
1 Cup Flour
4 Eggs
1 Cup Milk

Preheat oven to 425 and place a cast iron pot inside to heat up with it (If you don't have a cast iron, use a 9x9 casserole dish or an oven safe dish of similar size, it's best to have taller sides though). Add the butter to the bottom of the pot and let it melt. While it melts, whisk together eggs in a mixing bowl. Add the milk to the eggs and then the flour. Do not over mix the flour but try to get the bigger clumps out. 
Add the eggy mixture to your cast iron and let cook for about 25 minutes.


For the Caramelized Apples:
An Apple or two, cut into slices
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Drizzle of Honey

Powdered Sugar

In a saucepan over medium low heat, start cooking the apples at about ten minutes before your dutch baby is done. Melt the butter, then add your apples. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over them, then drizzle a little honey over the top. Cook down until the apples are soft and brown. Serve on top of the individual dutch baby slices. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of each. Enjoy :)
