Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10 or 12-inch oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan inside to heat up.
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. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet, swirling gently to coat the bottom and sides as it melts.
Pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet and immediately return it to the oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges. Avoid opening the oven door while it bakes.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the Dutch Baby to rest for 1-2 minutes. It will begin to deflate slightly as it cools.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the pancake and serve with lemon wedges, fresh berries, or any other desired toppings.
