Dutch Baby Pancakes or German Baby Pancakes

German Baby Pancakes or Dutch Baby Pancakes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 eggs - beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/8 cup of sugar
Sauce Recipe....
  • 1 lemon or orange
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Insert your pan for about 5 minutes until heated through. (I use an iron skillet and/or muffin pan)

Sift flour and salt into bowl and make a well in the center. Grate 1/2 of your lemon or orange into the flour mixture. Beat together remaining ingredients in seperate bowl then pour into bowl of dry ingredient. Just stir until lumpy DON'T over stir. 

Take pans out of oven or off of stove and add the butter. Make sure to use a pot holder and turn pan(s) sideways to distribute melted butter. Pour batter into the hot buttered pans and Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
If you can see into your oven while baking you will notice that the pancake(s) will begin to puff up while baking. When done, you can cut your big pancake into wedges and serve with your sauce or syrup of choice. 

What I did yesterday was take the lemon and squeeze the juice into a bowl from both halves. add powder sugar and stir til an icing is formed. I drizzle this over the pancakes and garnish with fresh strawberries. 
Here are some pictures of the puffing, and the finished product. ENJOY!!!
P.S. I don't really know the origin of the recipe and I could spend time finding out for you later but not right now; too much gardening to do. All I know is I found this fun and delicious to make in 7th grade and had to search out enough recipes to finally come up with my own.

Community Garden Day with Fresh Food on 4th

Then it was September As a blogger there can be a little bit of guilt for not posting as regular as one would like... Speaking for myself that is. If there was a way to upload directly from my mind to this page you would experience all of the beautiful images and stories from past events I've attended starting with Community Garden day, to Open Streets Minneapolis, Food Truck Tuesdays & Movie in the Parks, the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, and then to the Minnesota State Fair. Besides these events children around the country have gone back to school including my own which has given me more or less " the time " to grab a few moments to recap and catch you all up on my urban Ag Adventures. So I'll give it a go and start where I left off with my Community Garden Day 2013 experience and in between my food preservation efforts you will get a glimpse into some of the ways Minneapolis grows together....

Eat your backyard

Backyard Foraged Salad Foraging was a topic my elderly neighbor who was also a retired science teacher and botanist spoke about constantly. Friends thought my brother and I were crazy when we stopped mid game (football) to pick and eat a juicy looking patch of wood sorrel we spotted on the other side of the fence. I can't remember all of the lessons she taught but I remember her passion for eating local and not overlooking the simplest of plants. It's because of her that I jumped at an opportunity to learn some foraging here in the city. I've participated in some monthly classes that have helped me and by proxy my family, become more of an adventurous eaters. Below is a  picture of a salad foraged from our backyard. We paired it with our baked chicken [no pictured] and this meal was more than a hit!  The greens included lambs quarters, Orach (purple mountain spinach), Plantain, Egyptian walking onions, Wood Sorrel, Flat leaf Parsley, Raspberries, and Purslane.

Mini Green House (1)

This is the BIG ~ Mini project we had been putting off due to weather and just pure plain busyness. In our exuberance and excitement over 70 degree weather we transplanted some seedlings too early and didn't heed the cool evening/morning temps nor our strict watering regimen. MY BAD!! **blush ~ blush** I thought it would work out better for me and my two cohorts (hubby and daughter) if we devised a system that could take full advantage of the not so unusual bipolar Minnesota warm then freezing weather without killing all our precious transplants in the process. So since we have ample garden and yard space we took on the task of a greenhouse. I always hear rave revues about this system and truthfully it has been working on a micro level wth the milk jugs so I figured why not? Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself the end result. DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN COMING SOON.
