A Low Fat Dutch Baby Pancake. Great for a pretty breakfast which is just as easy (if not easier) than standing over a stack of pancakes while they cook.
Ingredients
1tablespoonunsalted butter
Butter-flavored cooking spray
1liquid egg substitute (reduced calorie)
1egg white
½cupall purpose flour
½cupskim milk
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
1tablespoonSplenda Granulated Sweetener
1tablespoonConfectioners Sugar -or- Swerve No Carb Sweetener(optional)
½fresh lemon
nutmeg
Fine Pink Salt
Berries(optional)
100% All Fruit Jam(optional)
Instructions
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
After preheating for 10 minutes, add the butter and a 5 second spray of cooking spray to a round pan or cast iron skillet (we used a cast iron skillet) with sloping sides. A pie tin will also work. Set the pan in the oven to preheat 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and egg white, then whisk in flour, milk, vanilla, sugar, a pinch of nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
Set a small sifter in a dish and pour the confectioner's sugar into it. Set this and the lemon half (plus a reamer if you have one) near the stove.
Pour the batter into the preheated pan and return it to the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are puffed up high and are golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven. Squeeze the juice of the halved lemon over the whole surface of the pancake, and sift on the confectioner's sugar.
Serve hot, immediately directly from the baking pan -- either whole on your plate or cut into mini wedges.
Spoon no sugar added preserves, berries, or syrup if additional sweetener is desired.
Spa Index Kitchen Notes
It's easy to size this down and cook in a mini cast-iron skillet for one.
