JENN McKINLAY: It's been a stressful winter/spring -- deadlines, moving Hooligans, and the world at large -- to name just a few. The capper was my mom suffering a broken foot (open fracture no less) while visiting us, putting her in a boot for month. When we got back from the ER, emergency cheer up food was required!
Normally when I am stressed, I have a hard time eating anything. However, the dutch baby breaks through all that silliness with its yummy goodness, so I share it with you.

Sadly, I am not Celia, so there is no video just a recipe and pics, but trust me it's delicious! Also, I got the recipe from @cast_iron_chris on Instagram so that makes my time spent on social media worth it!
Ingredients:
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Powdered sugar
Directions:
Heat all metal skillet in oven at 425.
Mix eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and nutmeg until smooth.
Add butter to hot skillet and let it melt.
Once butter is melted, add the batter to the skillet and bake for 20 mins until walls and center of Dutch Baby have puffed up. Turn off oven and let it bake another five minutes. Don't open the door during baking or baby will deflate. Remove from oven add powdered sugar and sautéed apples (optional). Enjoy!
Apples: Peel and slice 3 granny smith apples, melt a tablesopon of butter in medium sized pot, adding cinnamon and brown sugar to taste. I used a Tablespoon of brown sugar and a half teaspoon of cinnamon.
Coat with powdered sugar:
