....is a Pear Dutch Baby

Learning to bake is about what not to do as much as it is learning what works well. I started my first attempt at a Dutch Baby, a fairly simple recipe from Food Network, with a start-over mistake. Cooking mistakes are typically a little more forgiving but I've found baking are usually less so. I should have known better, in cookies wet ingredients are always first, and dry ingredients are mixed in parts after. Luckily I had all the ingredients to remake the batter.

4 Eggs

1 Cup Milk

2/3 Cup Flour

1/4 Cup Melted Butter

3 Tbsp Sugar 

a Little Vanilla

Clumpy lesson learned.

Mix in a blender (or with a mixer, wet ingredients first).

Melt some butter in a cast-iron skillet. 

Add 1 sliced pear, then the batter.

Bake at 375 degrees, 35 minutes. 

Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Happy Cooking!
