My family made “auf lauf” for weekend breakfasts when I was growing up, but when I reached adulthood and asked for the recipe, I found out it had not been written down, and I couldn’t replicate it. Then I received Joy of Cooking and discovered that what we had always called auf lauf was a well-known thing called a “Dutch Baby!” We have this often for brunch on weekends, though we use about half the butter that Joy of Cooking uses! Through quarantine we have made lots of great breakfasts but I always come back to auf lauf because it is easy, homey, yummy, and beautiful! – Erika
