Recipe Steps

If you’re seeking a simple yet impressive breakfast to delight your loved ones, this recipe is a perfect choice. You can either whisk the ingredients together or use an electric mixer for convenience.

After exploring various recipes for German pancakes and Dutch Babies, I experimented with whipping the batter to incorporate air and preheating a cast iron pan in the oven before baking. While this technique resulted in an impressive rise during baking, the pancake deflated quickly once out of the oven. Personally, I prefer making it as the recipe below outlines.

Making enchiladas with corn tortillas requires a bit more care. If used straight from the package, they tend to crack during rolling. To avoid this, heat the corn tortillas on a gas burner, making them pliable enough to dip into the enchilada sauce, fill, and roll.
