Instructions
- Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and allow the skillet to heat up in the oven.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, process eggs, milk, flour, sugar, nutmeg and salt until smooth.
- When ready to bake the pancake, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the skillet with melted butter. Pour the batter on top of the butter, swirling the skillet again to make sure that the batter is evenly spread around the pan.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 17-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
- Dust with powdered sugar, slice into wedges, and serve with butter, syrup and berries, if desired.
Notes
- Savory Dutch Baby: for a savory pancake, omit the nutmeg and sugar. You can mix in cheese and chives, or keep it simple and add plenty of extras on top. Delicious toppings for a savory Dutch Baby include sour cream, smoked salmon, fresh herbs, sliced ham, fried or poached eggs, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, diced tomato or fresh salsa.
- Use either 2% or whole milk in this recipe. I do not recommend skim milk or non-dairy milk alternatives, as the higher fat content in regular milk improves the taste and texture of the pancake.
- For a sweeter Dutch Baby, increase the sugar to 1-2 tablespoons.
- Use nutmeg or cinnamon, or a combination of the two. You can also add other spices such as cardamom, allspice or ginger, to taste. Just remember -- a little goes a long way with these potent spices, so you don't need much!
- Try adding lemon juice and/or lemon zest to the pancake batter for a lemon Dutch Baby.
