Dutch
Babies
The McDuffees
to
Kay Depew
Around 1985 we were invided to use the McDuffee's cabins
at Alder Creek, a delightful area along the American river just below
Kyberz. Our family (Mom, Dad, sisters and I) had been visiting friends
there since the late 40s and it
was a thrill, almost 40 years later, to watch my children having fun
where I did when I was
their age.
Herb was either fixing or installing a new washer in
the White's cabin and his wife made some Dutch Babies. It was an
immediate hit, she gave Kay a copy of her recipe and every time we have
it we remember a great times at Alder Creek. There is always something
wonderful going on at Alder Creek.
Preheat oven to 425
1 cup flour (sifted)
1 cup milk
4 eggs
½ tsp. salt
¼ cup butter (or whatever)
Blend eggs & milk for 1 minute.
Add flour & salt.
Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet/frying pan. - We always use a 10
inch iron skillet. Another skillet would probably work but we used an
iron skillet at Alder Creek so that's what we always use.
Pour batter into skillet and bake for 20 – 25 minutes. . . .
The batter will rise up the sides of the skillet....
We like these with some butter and plumb jelly or jam.
