This Dutch Baby recipe creates a delightful puffy pancake that’s perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. With a crispy exterior and a soft, custardy interior, it’s a treat with powdered sugar, lemon, or fresh fruit.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Batter:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Pan:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • powdered sugar
  • lemon wedges, or fresh fruit for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet or ovenproof pan in the oven to heat.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Let the batter rest while the pan heats.
  3. Prepare the Pan: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, add the butter, and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
  4. Bake the Dutch Baby: Immediately pour the batter into the pan and return it to the oven. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven during baking.
  5. Serve: Once done, remove from oven and serve immediately with powdered sugar, lemon juice, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For a savory version, skip the sugar and vanilla and top with cheese, herbs, or sautéed vegetables.
  • The puff will deflate slightly after coming out of the oven—that’s normal.
