Dutch Baby: The One-Skillet Breakfast You’re Not Making (Yet!)
Sure, pancakes are great. But there’s always one (or two) that burn before you get the skillet temperature right, and you have to babysit them for way too long.

No flipping, no waiting for one side to be done — just bake and eat. Keep reading, because we gathered 17 recipe options to get you started on your quest to breakfast domination.
