Dashi Baby Pancake is a delicious and unique breakfast dish with a soft, airy texture and a golden crispy top. It's typically prepared in a hot cast iron pan, then placed in the oven to achieve its signature puffed-up size. This treat is often served with powdered sugar, honey, fresh fruits, or maple syrup.

Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup flour
A pinch of salt
A pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
Method:
Preheat a large cast iron skillet in the oven at 200°C (392°F).
Remove the skillet from the oven and add the cut butter. Let it melt completely, covering the bottom of the pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg until the mixture is creamy.
Gradually add the milk and flour, alternating between the two, while whisking well after each addition to ensure the flour is fully incorporated.
Pour the batter quickly into the hot skillet (this step is crucial for achieving the perfect puff).
Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is golden and beautifully puffed.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, then slice the pancake into wedges.
Serve it hot with powdered sugar, honey, fresh fruits, or maple syrup.
Additional Tips:
Make sure the skillet is very hot when pouring in the batter to achieve the perfect rise.
Avoid opening the oven while baking, as this can cause the pancake to collapse and lose its height.
You can add different flavors to the batter, such as grated lemon zest or pure vanilla extract, for an extra boost of flavor.
