Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Optional powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan in the oven while it heats.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, about 20-30 seconds. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the skillet and add the butter. Let it melt completely, tilting the pan to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet. Quickly return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed and golden brown.
While the Dutch baby is baking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
As soon as the Dutch baby comes out of the oven, generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. It will stick to the warm surface, creating a flavorful crust.
For an optional garnish, sift powdered sugar over the Dutch baby before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy this delightful combination of a fluffy pancake base with a sweet, cinnamony topping!
