One day while watching a cartoon with the children one of the cartoon characters asked to go out to get a “Dutch Baby”. At this point I never heard of a Dutch Baby and neither did the other characters in the show. Their reactions were priceless and I was fully committed to watching the rest of episode to see what it was. It turned out that a Dutch Baby seemed to be a food that looked like a pancake so I googled search to the term and viola knowledge was acquired. The only problem was no where even within an 100 mile radius of us served Dutch Baby’s. However I was determined and decided to make one myself and fell instantly in love with these little cute bundles of joy that come straight out of the oven like all good babies should ;).
