Steps:

• Place a medium ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron, in center of oven and preheat oven to 450°F. Let skillet heat at least 25 minutes total (prepare your toppings while you wait).
• Blend eggs in a blender on high speed until very frothy, about 1 minute. With motor running, gradually stream in milk, then 2 Tbsp. butter; blend another 30 seconds. Add flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper and blend just to combine. (This batter doubles well if you want to scale up.)
• Carefully remove skillet from oven and swirl remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in skillet to coat. Immediately pour batter into skillet (butter will brown quickly, so have batter at the ready to prevent burning). Bake pancake until puffed and brown around edges, 20-25 minutes. It will begin to deflate as soon as it comes out. Top as desired.

• Heat a 10" cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Once hot, melt butter and swirl to coat skillet. Pour batter into hot melted butter in skillet. Transfer to oven and bake until puffed and golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
• Sprinkle Parmesan over pancake before serving with crème fraîche, smoked salmon, baby greens, and lemon wedges (if using).
• Do Ahead: Batter can be made 2 days ahead. Transfer to a medium jar and chill. Shake jar before cooking.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Whisk wet ingredients into dry until just combined. Stir in thyme and the other herbs.
• Melt the butter in a heavy 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Let it cook until it smells nutty and browns, about 5 to 7 minutes, then swirl skillet so that butter coats bottom of pan.

• Peel, core, and slice the apple 1/8 inch thick. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a 9-inch ovenproof crêpe pan or skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the apple, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, and the cinnamon and toss well. Sauté the apple for 5 to 7 minutes until tender, tossing occasionally. Spread the apple out in the pan and keep hot over low heat.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the microwave. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the flour, the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar, and the salt. Whisk the flour mixture into the milk mixture, whisking until there are no lumps. Pour the batter over the cooked apple in the hot pan and immediately place in the oven.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and the edges start to get crispy and browned. Dust lightly with sifted confectioners' sugar, cut in wedges, and serve hot with maple syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Put margarine and sausage into the baking dish and place in the oven to heat about 5 minutes before you add the batter. Keep a close eye on it because it will burn if you let it.
• Blend eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a blender or with a mixer. Add the flour 1/4c at a time until just incorporated evenly (don't overmix otherwise you'll activate the gluten in the flour and have a thick dutch baby rather than a fluffy one).
• Add batter immediately after it's ready to hot baking dish.
• Sprinkle cheese over the batter and bake for 20-25 minutes, until puffy and Golden brown.
• Let it cool a few minutes before cutting- it will deflate during this period.
• Enjoy!
• Note: this is my family recipe, and it was is told to me as a ratio- 1/4 milk & flour for every egg- feel free to go up or down a size on your baking dish just adjusting according to the ratio!
