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 until smooth, about 30 seconds. Let the batter rest while the oven and skillet continue to heat.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl until fully melted, ensuring it coats the entire bottom and sides of the pan.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and immediately return it to the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed and golden brown on the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven. The Dutch Baby will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately with lemon wedges. For additional sweetness, serve with maple syrup, fruit, or jam if desired.
