Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for serving)
- 1 cup Lemon wedges or fresh fruit (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-12 inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven while it heats.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and lump-free. You can also blend the ingredients in a blender for approximately 20-30 seconds for an ultra-smooth batter.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until it fully melts and coats the bottom and sides of the pan.
Pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet over the melted butter. Quickly place the skillet back into the oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven. The Dutch Baby will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal.
Dust the top with powdered sugar and serve immediately with lemon wedges, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
