Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cups Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron works best) in the oven to heat up while you prepare the batter.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high speed for 20 seconds until the batter is smooth and frothy.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides evenly as it melts.
Pour the batter into the skillet over the melted butter. Immediately place the skillet back into the preheated oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, then dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Slice the Baby Dutchman into wedges and serve warm, optionally topped with fresh berries.
