How to Make Dutch Baby

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) in the oven while it preheats.
  2. In a blender, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and eggs. Blend until just combined.
  3. Slowly add the milk and melted butter while blending on low speed until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Quickly pour the batter into the hot skillet.
  5. Immediately return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Top with your favorite fresh fruit, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your amazing Dutch Baby Pancake!
