Dutch Babies

This Dutch baby recipe is from my great-grandmother. Warm Dutch babies are great on a cold morning — they're light, yet very filling. I love to eat them. Serve with warm maple syrup and lemon wedges.

  3. ½ cup sifted all-purpose flour
  4. 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  5. 1 pinch salt
  6. 2 tablespoons butter
  7. 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting
