Pancakes are the real deal for us in India; the savory versions to be precise. We call it Dosa or lentil crepes, and is an unavoidable dish on the breakfast menu of every Indian. Unlike the sweet pancakes which I consider a lazy girl’s breakfast as it requires less effort, is fancy, and doesn’t need to be fermented…the lentil pancakes always requires some sort of pre-preparation.

Dutch baby pancakes (also called as German pancakes) can be defined as an old school pancake recipe with a little makeover. The batter goes straight into the oven, cooks for 20 minutes, and tadaaa…your baked pancakes are ready; puffed up with crispy browned edges, a golden fluffy center, and boy… so damn delicious.

The recipe is so simple and actually much easier than making a regular pancake. You can throw everything into a blender, blend and just pour it to your buttered iron skillet and bake. And while it bakes, you have all the time in the world to clean up your kitchen, and even make some coffee!

The main attraction of this pancake is, its Huge! I have used a 9-inch iron skillet for this recipe, which is enough to serve 2-3 people. Traditionally this dish is made on an iron skillet but you can use any oven safe skillets, just ensure that it’s atleast 2 inches tall which will help the batter to rise, otherwise it will overflow & burn creating a mess in your oven.

Dust these Dutch baby pancakes with powdered sugar and serve with a drizzle of honey/maple syrup/chocolate syrup. You can also top it off with fresh fruits or fruit sauce.

Enjoy, Happy Cooking…!

So what do I cook for breakfast today? Hmmm… something quick; Well, I’ve got bread, milk, & fruits in my pantry… so a French toast may be??? Oh boy, Yumm!! But wait a minute, I don’t have eggs. Now what? Well I think I know what to do, no worries at all. I’m gonna try an Eggless French toast…!!!!

Breakfast is the important meal of your day and I love to cook something sumptuous. But at times the sleepyhead in you makes you so lazy to cook early in the morning that you wish you could fix up something very quick, especially those days when my hubby starts early to office for his morning meetings. That’s when I seek the blessings of the smoothie gods and the cereal gods, or it would be some bread recipes.

This 5 ingredient eggless French toast recipe is so simple, hardly takes 5 minutes to prepare and it’s so yummy to appease your hungry stomach.

So, how did I get the classic French toast taste without eggs?? I’ve used corn starch, cinnamon and vanilla extract which gives that beautiful flavour and covers up all the missing of the eggs…and it’s delicious…!!

I have used multigrain bread in this recipe which is one of my favourites, but any bread would do or any dense bread like brioche works great too.

Enjoy, Happy Cooking and have a Great Morning!!!
