Cherry Dutch Baby

Submitted by Anita Elder


About the cook: I've been cooking and baking since I was 9, helping my mom make dinner. These days, I often adapt recipes that accommodate my husband's gluten allergy. I'm also finally comfortable enough to create something new from scratch that isn't from a recipe.

About the dish: I love pancake houses and often order the Dutch baby. At the local pancake house, the choices are a plain Dutch baby (spritzed with lemon juice) or an apple one. Cherries were in season here in Seattle and I thought to try making a Dutch baby using them as the fruit. But, I had to make it gluten-free so my husband could eat it, too.
