Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, lavender, or other spices of choice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, salt, vanilla, and any additional spices you’ve chosen to use.
- Gradually whisk in the flour until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Once melted, swirl the butter around to coat the sides of the skillet.
- Pour the batter into the skillet and immediately transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed and golden brown. For a crispier texture, bake until the edges are deeply golden.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your choice of toppings.
Notes
For a slightly salty contrast, use salted butter as it pairs well with the sweetness of maple syrup. If you prefer a custardy center, reduce the baking time slightly. Serve with bacon or scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast. Experiment with different spices like lavender or nutmeg for unique flavors.
