Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 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 (optional, for topping)
- 1 cups Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan inside the oven while it heats.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high speed for 20-30 seconds or until the batter is smooth and frothy.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and swirl it around until completely melted, coating the bottom and sides of the pan.
Quickly pour the prepared batter into the skillet. Transfer the skillet back to the oven immediately.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is golden brown and puffed up around the edges.
Once baked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal.
Dust the Dutch Baby with powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
