it's FINALLY friday! i don't know about you, but this week seemed like it took forever to get through. maybe i am still going through those post christmas blues. now we can dream about sleeping in tomororw & delicious weekend brunches! if you don't want to brave the cold & go out, this dutch baby makes for the perfect breakfast, brunch or even dessert. it is kind of like one giant yorkshire pudding topped with sweet fruit & sugar. i absolutely love watching it puff up high in the oven. i pretty much sit & stare through the oven window until it is done. i tried so hard to get a picture of it straight out of the oven before it began to flatten, but i failed. SO.. i guess you'll just have to make it & see it for yourself. have a good weekend! xo
