Dutch Baby
Description
This Dutch Baby recipe begins with a batter blended smooth from eggs, all-purpose flour, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. The batter is poured into a preheated ovenproof skillet coated with melted butter, which promotes a crisp, buttery crust. Baking at a high temperature causes the batter to puff around the edges and form a golden crust, while the interior remains soft and custardy.
The texture combines airy, crisp edges with a moist and tender center, creating a striking contrast. After baking, toppings can be added according to preference. Sweet options include fresh fruit, jam, or syrup; savory options might include cheese, ham, or poached eggs.
The pancake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave. It can also be frozen in layers separated by wax paper for up to two months. For best rise, use a 9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet and ensure the batter is lump-free, using a blender or whisk.
Ingredients
- 3 large egg room temperature
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
Instructions
- Place an empty 9-inch or 10-inch ovenproof skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Meanwhile, add eggs, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt to a blender and blend until smooth (or whisk until smooth). Set the batter aside.
- Once the oven is hot, remove the pan (it will be hot!) and add two tablespoons of butter. Melt the butter by swirling it around the pan.
- Pour the batter into the hot pan and immediately place it back in the oven.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until it is puffed at the edges and golden.
- Remove from the oven and add toppings as desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat on stovetop or microwave.
- Freeze Dutch Babies in layers separated by wax paper in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
- Preheat the skillet thoroughly to achieve a high, puffy rise when baking.
- Use a 9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet; a 9-inch skillet produces higher edges.
- Blend the batter until smooth to avoid lumps for optimal texture.
- Customize toppings with sweet options like fresh fruit or savory options such as ham and eggs.
