Ingredients
For pans:
3Tablespoonsbutter, divided into 3 equal pieces
For batter:
2largeeggs
6Tablespoonsmilk
1Tablespoonbutter, melted and slightly cooled
4Tablespoonsflour
2Tablespoonscocoa powder
1 1/2Tablespoonswhite granulated sugar
1/4teaspoonvanilla
Pinchsalt
For topping:
Vanilla Ice Cream
Chocolate Sauce
Caramel Sauce
Pecan halves
Instructions
Place skillets into oven and then preheat oven to 425F with skillets in oven.
Meanwhile, combine all the batter ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk well until fluffy. Set aside.
When oven is preheated, carefully remove skillets from oven (they're hot!). Add 1 Tbsp of butter to each skillet and swirl around to coat as it melts. Give batter a quick whisk, then divide evenly between the 3 skillets. Immediately place into preheated oven and bake until puffy and set, about 10 minutes (for 5-inch skillets).
Remove from oven. Pancakes will deflate as they cool. While still warm, top with a scoop of ice cream, chocolate and caramel sauce and a scattering of pecans.
Notes
If making in a muffin tin, baking time will be slightly less, about 8 minutes. If doubling recipe and baking in a larger skillet, baking time would be 15-18 minutes.Nutritional information is for the chocolate Dutch baby only and doesn't include any toppings.
