Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- Lemon wedges (optional)
- Fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven while it preheats.
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend or whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, about 15-20 seconds. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until fully melted and the pan is coated. Be cautious as the pan will be very hot.
Pour the batter into the center of the skillet. Do not stir. Quickly return the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed up and golden brown at the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Optional toppings include a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, fresh berries, or syrup.
