Mark and Carol help at a B & B in Paso and at times have tried out "new" dishes for their guests.  Today, we were introduced to a Dutch baby.

A Dutch baby pancake is a sweet popover that is normally served for breakfast. It is derived from the German pfannkuchen. It is made with eggs, flour, sugar and milk, and usually seasoned with vanilla and cinnamon. It is baked in a metal pan and falls soon after being removed from the oven. It is generally served with fresh squeezed lemon, butter, and powdered sugar, fruit toppings or syrup (complete with bacon bits).

According to Sunset magazine, Dutch babies were introduced in the first half of the 1900s at Manca's Cafe, a family-run restaurant, owned by Victor Manca. While these pancakes are derived from the German pancake dish, it is said that the name Dutch baby was coined by one of Victor Manca's daughters, Manca's Cafe owned the trademark for Dutch babies, although the cafe later closed in the 1950s.

It's easy to impress me. I don't need a fancy party to be happy.

Just good friends, good food, and good laughs. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I'm content.
