Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 cups fresh berries (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven to heat as it preheats.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and swirl it around until fully melted and the bottom of the skillet is coated evenly.
Pour the batter into the skillet, ensuring it spreads out evenly. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed and golden-brown around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the Dutch baby to cool slightly. It will deflate as it sits—this is normal.
Dust the Dutch baby with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries, if using. Serve immediately with maple syrup, if desired.
