    i have a small inn in Belfast, Maine and I frequently make this for my guest. It's a hit every time. Thanks Martha!

    This recipe was really easy and yummy. perfect for a Sunday morning brunch. I just mixed it all together in the early morning until it was time to bake closer to brunch time. I definitively put more than just a sprinkle on the top though that's for sure and I used regular 2% milk instead of skim, and it still worked just fine.

    this is very similar to a Dutch Baby= 6 eggs, 1 1/2cup each flour and milk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp allspice. scramble eggs, gradually mix in milk then flour, pour batter into melted butter/5 quart pan. Bake 425 degree preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. when done/cooked enough, non should stick to knife that has been inserted into center. Toppings squeeze lemon wedge over a slice of Dutch baby, then sprinkle with powder sugar. ...or chilled lime whip , orange honey, yogurt, etc.

    This is so easy and delicious. It's like a sweet popover or yorkshire pudding. A brown sugar glaze on top would be good too!
