This sounds like a most excellent breakfast to me, how about you? It is a pancake that includes sugar and cherries. It sounds virtuous enough for a weekday, but tasty enough for a brunch. This sweet recipe comes from Lauren Katz of Ashburn, Virginia!
Cherry-Vanilla Dutch Pancake
- Prep Time: 20 Min
- Total Time: 40 Min
- Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 container Pillsbury Gluten Free refrigerated pie and pastry dough
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons Watkins™ Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen (thawed and drained) pitted dark sweet cherries
Procedure
- Heat oven to 400°F. Let pastry dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften.
- Meanwhile, in 12-inch ovenproof skillet, melt butter in oven. In small microwavable measuring cup or bowl; microwave milk uncovered on High 30 seconds.
- In blender or food processor, break up pastry dough. Add 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar, the milk, eggs and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla. Cover; blend on low speed 30 to 45 seconds or until smooth.
