Dutch Baby

Yield: Makes 2-3 in a 9-inch cast iron skillet


Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. sugar
1 cup whole milk
2 Tbsp. melted butter
4 ea. eggs
Butter, for skillets
Powdered sugar
Lemon slices


Preparation

Oven Temperature: 500-550 degrees

  • Mix the flour with the salt and sugar.
  • Whisk in the milk, a few lumps are ok, and add the butter.
  • Add the eggs 1 by 1 whisking after each egg.
  • Heat a 9 -10-in. skillet with a knob of butter until it is melted. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom.
  • Pour a 1/3 or a ½ of the batter into the pan. The more batter you have in the pan the thicker the Dutch Baby will be.

Flame Height: 2.6

  • Put the skillet in the center of the oven (or if the oven is hotter than 550 put it just inside the doorway).
  • Bake for 6-8 minutes, rotating once, or until the Dutch Baby forms a tall golden brown crown.
  • Remove from the oven and if you wish, finish with powdered sugar and a squeeze of lemon. It is also great with baked fruits, cinnamonsugar, or without the sugar in the batter it can be finished as a savory item with cheese and bacon.
