cherry dutch baby (gluten-free and dairy-free)

Recipe by

A traditional Dutch Baby pancake is doesn't have fruit, but has lemon juice squeezed over it. I created this recipe after developing a dairy allergy. My husband can't eat gluten, so I'm always having to modify recipes. I listed brand names on some items after trying a lot of others and being dissatisfied (Bob's Red Mill GF flour is too gritty, in my opinion). If you don't have a allergy/sensitivity to dairy and gluten, just use the same amounts of flour, milk and butter.
