windmills, tulips and the dutch pancake

this week has been crazy busy. i'm EXHAUSTED and ready for the weekend, so i needed this very, very much. 
the dutch pancake: ridiculously easy, fast and goooood, oh so good. this is the kind of food you don't mess around with. no frills. 
this was a breakfast staple of my mother's, especially on dreary winter mornings in north dakota. 
serve it with a little maple syrup (please spend a little more and get something quality) and/or peanut butter (jason likes both) and dust with confectioners' sugar. 
fingers crossed you make it through your work week,
maggie
