PUFFED OVEN-BAKED PANCAKES WITH FRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups or six 10-oz. custard cups or au gratin dishes with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar, and salt until smooth. Immediately pour batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until pancakes are puffed and golden. (Pancakes will puff up and sink quickly.)
• Meanwhile, wash and dry bowl. Add fruit and marmalade; toss to coat.
• Top puffed pancakes with fruit mixture and, if desired, yogurt and/or mint. Serve warm.

VANILLA DUTCH BABY (PUFFED PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the butter in a large, ovenproof, nonstick saute pan and place in the oven.
• Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the eggs, flour, warm milk, sugar, vanilla extract and pinch of salt, and blend on medium-high speed until uniform. (If mixing by hand, combine the eggs with the milk until the mixture is light yellow and no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously to remove the lumps, about 30 seconds.)
• Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. The butter should be melted. Swirl the butter around the pan to coat completely, and then pour the remaining butter into the batter and pulse to blend. Pour the batter into the hot pan and return the pan to the oven. Cook until the pancake is puffed in the center and golden brown along the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom and rendering the pancake soggy. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cooled slightly. Slice the pancake into 8 wedges on a serving platter or cutting board.

• Return to the oven and bake until the pancake is puffed and no longer moist in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.

GERMAN OVEN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. If you have a convection oven, set it at 425°F (the pancakes rise even higher on the convection setting).
• In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk or fork. Stir in the milk, melted butter, salt and sugar. Add the flour to the egg mixture, a big spoonful at a time as you continue to whisk. Be careful not to over-mix, to keep the pancake light and fluffy.
• Lightly spray a 9"-11" oven-safe skillet with cooking spray.
• Pour the batter into a heated skillet (this will yield a more golden brown, puffier pancake). Bake 12-18 minutes, just until the edges are golden. Check your pancake at the 12 minute mark. Top with the fresh fruit and whipped cream just before serving.
