Whizz or blend for approximately 10-15 seconds. Might need to scrape down the sides, and blend for a further 10 seconds. You will end up with a pretty liquidy batter.
• 2. Allow the batter to set aside. Rest it for a good 20 to 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid. Not the biggest issue if you only have 10 minutes to rest it.
• 3. While your batter rests, place the skillet you're using on the middle rack to warm along with the oven. Heat the oven to 210°C or 425°F.
• 4. When the oven is hot as well as the skillet, all ready to make the pancake, remove the skillet from the oven (of course using oven gloves) and place it on top of the stove.

• 7. Preparing the topping 1. Whilst the pancake is baking, get the topping ready by frying some bacon rashers and the eggs in a large pan. Preferably its to fry these separately.
• 8. Serving the pancakes 1. It can be served either straight away from the skillet or you can transfer the Dutch baby to a serving large sharing plate. Add the toppings (bacon and eggs). Cut into chunky wedges and serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and if you choose to a sprinkle of fresh herbs. I used a tiny amount of finely chopped parsley and thyme freshly picked from the garden.
