Equipment

  • Skillet (oven-safe)
  • Blender (Hand or Electric)
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Oven
  • Oven Mitts

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • Powdered sugar, fresh berries, syrup, or a squeeze of lemon juice (optional toppings)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425�F (220�C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet in the oven while it's heating.
  • In a blender, combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the butter, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly. Allow the butter to melt and coat the skillet.
  • Quickly pour the batter into the hot skillet with the melted butter. Return the skillet to the oven.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the Dutch Baby is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
  • Remove from the oven, and add your favorite toppings. Dust with powdered sugar, add fresh berries, or drizzle with syrup. A squeeze of lemon juice can also add a delightful touch.
  • Slice and serve immediately while it's puffy and hot.

Notes

  1. Preheat Thoroughly: Ensure both the oven and skillet are fully preheated for a crisp Dutch Baby.
  2. Room Temperature Ingredients: Allow eggs and milk to reach room temperature for a smoother batter.
  3. Blend Well: Whether using a blender or whisk, ensure the batter is thoroughly blended for uniform texture.
  4. No Peeking: Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking to maintain the heat needed for rising.
  5. Serve Promptly: Enjoy the Dutch Baby immediately for the fluffiest texture; they deflate slightly as they cool.
