Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh or frozen wild berries (such as huckleberries or blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet or an oven-safe baking dish in the oven while it preheats to ensure it's hot and ready.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend on high until the batter is smooth and frothy, about 20-30 seconds. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides evenly. The butter should melt quickly but not burn.
Immediately pour the batter into the hot skillet. Sprinkle the wild berries evenly over the top of the batter.
Place the skillet back into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the Dutch Baby cool for 1-2 minutes. It will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.
Dust the Dutch Baby with powdered sugar, if desired, and cut it into wedges. Serve it with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, tangy contrast.
Enjoy your Dutch Babies Montana Style fresh and warm for the best flavor and texture!
