gingerbread dutch baby

 i'm slightly ridiculous. 
(you probably know that from reading this blog.)

about a week ago i lost my drivers lisence. 
at first, i decided to wait it out... 
thinking it would show up in a random coat pocket, like most of my missing things do!

well, after a week i decided to go ahead and get a new one.
so i go into the DOL, take a new pic, and get a temporary paper lisence,
while the real one is being sent to me in the mail.

well, since then, i have lost my mail key.
this is not a joke. i could not make this up!

OMG. what is wrong with me???? LOL!



prior to this recipe, i actually had no idea what a dutch baby was! 
i'd never even heard of it!

it's sort of a mix between a crepe and a pancake.
and it was AMAZINGLY easy and delicious!
i'm not going to lie.... i ate this entire babycake.
even though it probably could have fed TWO! :)
