Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 4 lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe nonstick skillet in the oven while it heats to ensure it's piping hot when the batter is added.
In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend on high until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while the oven finishes preheating.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until completely melted, coating the entire bottom and sides of the pan.
Quickly pour the prepared batter into the center of the skillet. Do not stir. Immediately place the skillet back into the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes without opening the oven door. The Dutch Baby will puff dramatically and turn golden brown at the edges.
Once baked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. The Dutch Baby will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal!
Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Serve warm with fresh berries and a squeeze of lemon juice from the lemon wedges for an extra zing.
