  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 2g

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Turn this on early so that it can heat up properly or your pancake might not rise as well.
  2. Add the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon to the blender. Blend for a minute. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.
  3. Warm a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, and let it melt.
  4. Brush the melted butter up the sides of the skillet with a pastry brush, as well as around the bottom. This will prevent the pancake from sticking, so make sure to spread it evenly.
  5. Pour the batter into the hot skillet, and immediately transfer to the preheated oven.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pancake has risen and is golden brown.
  7. Enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • This recipe originally appeared on Devour Dinner. I added weight measurements to the recipe.
  • How to store: If you have leftover pancake, store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat until warmed through in the oven. It will not be as fluffy or crispy, but it should still taste good.
  • Flavor it up. This recipe calls for a pinch of cinnamon. Swap that out with some Pumpkin Pie Spice, Apple Pie Spice, nutmeg, etc., to give this Dutch baby some more fall flavoring! You could also add a pinch of instant espresso powder, too, for a caffeine kick!
