Now For the Recipe as Modified by Dwight
First lets look at the results from the modified recipe


Below is a copy of the fax from 1998 that has a copy of the original recipe card
(note the word egg in the fax and in the card).
This fax has a modification of the recipe by Dwight calling for 1/8 tsp of Baking Powder

Dwight's recipe also has another important modification.
It prohibits any peeking in the oven before removing the finished Dutch Baby.

Here is Dwight's modified Dutch Baby recipe
