Ingredients  

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup milk, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup All-Purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar or maple syrup, for garnishing
  • Fresh berries, for garnishing

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Place the butter in a 12" oven-proof, non-stick skillet. Place the skillet into the oven until the butter melts.
  • Combine the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and swirl the melted butter around so it evenly coats the pan.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and return the skillet to the oven for 25 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed and golden brown.
  • Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or maple syrup and top with fresh berries, if desired.

Notes

  • While a cast iron skillet is ideal for achieving those crispy edges and a beautifully puffed Dutch baby, you can use any oven-safe skillet.
  • If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, pop it back in the oven at 350°F for about 5-8 minutes, or until warm and crispy again.
