SHOW-STOPPER DUTCH BABY PANCAKES 
3-4 qt. pan
1/3 c. butter
4 eggs
1 c. milk
1 c. all-purpose flour
Ground nutmeg
8-10 oz. or 1-2 links kielbasa sausage

Place butter in pan and set in 425 degree oven. While butter melts, mix batter. Put eggs in a blender or food processor and whirl at high speed for 1 minute. With motor running, gradually pour in milk, then slowly add flour.

Continue whirling for 30 seconds. Remove pan from oven (butter must be melted) and pour in batter and bake until puffy and browned for 20-25 minutes, depending on pan size.

While batter is baking, brown kielbasa sausage in frying pan. Serve pancake with the hot sausage and mustard (regular, Dijon or spicy). When removing pancake, dust with ground nutmeg and serve with topping (see below).

Bowl or shaker of powdered sugar, thick wedges of lemon. Have guests sprinkle sugar on hot pancake, then squeeze lemon over.

This is a fast and easy recipe to prepare. The pancake puffs up dramatically in the oven. Whatever the shape of pan (it doesn't matter), it should be fairly shallow--not much over 3 inches deep.
