Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • for dusting Powdered sugar
  • for serving Fresh berries

Get Started

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) in the oven while it preheats. This is crucial for achieving the signature puff.

Prepare the Batter

In a blender or mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Melt the Butter

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt completely, swirling to coat the bottom and sides. Ensure the entire surface is covered with butter.

Pour and Bake

Pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet. Immediately return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed up and golden brown.

Serve Immediately

Carefully remove the Dutch Baby from the oven. It will deflate slightly as it cools, which is perfectly normal. Dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries. Serve immediately for the best experience.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of milk?

    Yes, you can use almond milk, soy milk, or any other milk alternative. However, using whole milk will result in a richer flavor and better texture.
  • Can I add other toppings?

    Absolutely! Whipped cream, maple syrup, lemon curd, or fruit compote are all excellent choices.
  • Why is my Dutch Baby not puffing up?

    Make sure your oven is hot enough and that the skillet is preheated well. Also, avoid opening the oven door during baking, as this can cause the temperature to drop and prevent the pancake from puffing.
