Dutch Babies with Heavenly Syrup (a.k.a. Vanilla or Buttermilk Syrup)

Heavenly Syrup

Dutch babies are one of my family's specialties though almost no one else has ever heard of them before. They are probably the most delicious breakfast food ever invented, especially when paired with Heavenly Syrup or a little fresh squeezed lemon juice. Even though this is technically a breakfast food, my family often eats it for dinner!
