Dutch Baby
Report
This Dutch Baby is a pancake made with milk, eggs, flour, and sugar are mixed in a blender and poured into a hot skillet. It's baked in a hot oven until it puffs high. The batter is mixed the night before and refrigerated. All that's left to do in the morning is bake it and dust it with confectioners' sugar.

Ingredients
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (3/4 oz) butter melted, plus more for the baking dish
- butter for the skillet
- confectioners’ sugar for dusting
- Maple syrup, butter, lemon wedges, and fruit compote
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs, and blend on medium-high until everything is combined, about 15 seconds. Leave the mixture in the blender.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the blender and blend again, just until combined. Add the melted butter and keep blending until everything is pretty darn smooth, maybe 30 seconds.
- Pour the batter into a bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. (The key to a good Dutch Baby is making the batter the night before. It needs to rest in the fridge for at least 6 hours; otherwise, it will be too eggy. That’s good news for your Sunday morning, as you can simply bake your Dutch Baby while you’re making coffee.)
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Adjust oven rack to middle position.
- Butter a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron, and slide it in the preheating oven for about 5 minutes, until it gets pretty hot.
- When the skillet is properly heated, pull it out of the oven, pour in the batter, and slide it back in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the skillet and bake for another 10 minutes or so, until the batter has risen high on the sides and a little bit in the center, and has turned golden brown right in the middle. You may want to watch it carefully, as the edges can get a little dark—that’s OK as far as we're concerned, but if you prefer your pancake pale, you can always crimp a strip of aluminum foil around the edges.
- Pull the Dutch baby out of the oven and slide it right out of the skillet onto a plate. The pancake won’t stick to the skillet, although it will deflate as it cools down—there's just no avoiding that.
- Fill a small sieve or strainer with confectioners’ sugar and shake it over the Dutch baby until the surface is thickly covered. Place the Dutch baby in the middle of the table with some little bowls of toppings: lemon wedges, fruit compote, pats of soft butter, maple syrup. You don’t need a knife and a cake lifter for this: just let everybody pull pieces off with their fingers. It will disappear FAST.
