Dutch Pancakes

[Nay-nay]

This recipe is thanks to Andie who put up the link in the 'What are you cooking today?' section. These remind me of giant yorkshire puddings and can be topped with sweet or savoury topping. I had so much fun baking these - the sides just stand straight up out of the pan! 
Dutch Pancakes
Ingredients
SWEET
2  eggs
125g milk
125g flour
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch cinnamon
a drop vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp butter
icing sugar, for dusting
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 225^oC (hot-veryhot!). Place a cast-iron skillet in the oven while it preheats.
2. Put eggs on for 10sec sp4 until pale and frothy. Add in milk, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and salt and put on for about 20-30sec sp3-4 until smooth.
3. Add butter to skillet and coat well by tipping pan 'this way and that' til coating all up sides. Add batter to skillet and place back in oven. Bake about 20 minutes or until pancake is a light brown.
4. Remove from oven and dust with sugar or top with cream or curd or even mousse.  Serve immediately.
Tips: I used my baby skillet - 22cm and put double mix in my medium skillet - 24.5cm. In the savoury version I left out nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla and added a tsp of herbs and spices of choice and topping with shallots, tomato, olives etc. I think it is traditionally served in the pan but they do come out quite cleanly if you do want to serve on a plate. Oh and 1 baby one is huge!! You can share and will want to.

Could you use these as a base for a quiche?

I was thinking they would be good as a tart case filled with your favourite topping - caramel, chocolate mousse, passionfruit butter. Not sure how they would go with filling actually cooked in them though as the pan is full of batter when you first put it in then it amazingly does not overflow onto oven floor but stands up and makes a wonderful hollow. I've googled if they are suppose to look like this and there are some good ideas of what to use in/on them. One picture had a whole 'BIG' breaky sitting in there.

Mmm. I can see this would be a novel way to serve a casserole or even stewed fruit. It would stretch the casserole when guests drop in.
