I keep saying it, but I do love my cast iron pans. Thanks to Lodge Cast Iron Australia for supplying them to me. Although they are heavy there are literally the next best thing in my kitchen after the Thermomix. If you are fresh out of cast iron for this recipe, I suggest you invest...but if not, you need a decent frying pan and heat it to as high as you dare. You will then get the Dutch Baby result we are seeking. These pancakes puff up and hug the filling! Perfect. Slice them into wedges or get individual pans for a really easy way to serve them. Lodge do all sorts of sizes. YUM.
