Ingredients

• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (optional)
• 1 cups Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-proof pan in the oven while it preheats to get the skillet hot.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high speed for about 20-30 seconds until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.

Step 3

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven (use oven mitts to avoid burns). Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides. The butter should melt quickly due to the hot skillet.

Step 4

Immediately pour the batter into the hot skillet. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.

Step 5

Once baked, remove the Dutch Baby from the oven. It will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal.

Step 6

Dust the pancake with powdered sugar, drizzle with fresh lemon juice if desired, and top with fresh fruit for serving. Slice and serve warm.
