How To Make These Dutch Baby Pancakes

Before we dive into the cooking, here’s what you’ll need:

Step-By-Step Guide:

Ready to create your Dutch Baby? Here’s how!

1. Place the top oven rack just above the center position and preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Stir until just combined, then pour the batter into a blender and blend until aerated, approximately 1 minute.

3. Use the butter to thoroughly grease the exposed surface of your 10-inch skillet, then place it in the hot oven until the butter is melted. Swirl to distribute evenly across the bottom.

4. Pour the blended batter into the center of the hot skillet and return to the oven. Cook until the edges are puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. After that, turn off the oven and let the skillet sit in the heat for an additional 5 minutes.

5. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve immediately, topped with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, and/or maple syrup. Enjoy!

And there you have it! These Dutch Baby Pancakes are not only delicious but also versatile. Feeling more savory? Consider topping with crispy pancetta, eggs, or fresh herbs! Just don’t forget about the cook time – ovens can vary, so keep an eye on it to achieve that perfect golden fluff.
