How can this be legal?There are low carbers who believe we should eliminate all sweets from our diets. They contend that replacing real sugars with artificial sweeteners, or even Stevia, will only continue our cravings for carbohydrates. They may have a point. Unfortunately, I am not ready to give up all sweet treats. I would feel like I was in diet prison, not the full rich life I want to live. If I am sticking to this long term, I cannot feel deprived.
This breakfast treat will take you back to the old days of french toast swimming in butter and maple syrup. This German pancake is not a treat I will fix everyday, but it certainly leaves me feeling spoiled, not deprived. It is easier than flipping pancakes too. I got the original recipe from the Stella Style board, from OceanDreaming. She got it from another board, so who is to credit? I dunno. By my calculations, these Dutch Babies have only 4-5 carbs per serving, and a bit over 400 calories before the syrup or toppings of your choice. That will fit in to most plans.
I added cinnamon and syrup. Not too much syrup because of the sugar alcohols. The original recipe called for a topping of sour cream and strawberries. Have fun and do what you want.

Lisa,
I bought two volumes of the LCAF spiral-bound cookbooks recently, and I just tried this recipe, but I had a problem. After it baked for 15 minutes and cooled for 5, I sliced into it, but the inside was still liquidy - it began oozing out. I checked the directions carefully to make sure I didn't misread it, but it was 1 cup heavy cream, 5 eggs, 425 degrees F, etc. I put it back in the oven - it was about 10 minutes more before it seemed set.
Even after the first 15 minutes mine looked much more browned and higher than this photo I just found in your blog. I've never actually had a Dutch Baby pancake before (not sure exactly how it's supposed to look and taste), but it tastes good now. Any ideas what went wrong??
