Servings: 4
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour (1 cup)
- Milk (1 cup)
- Eggs (3 large)
- Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
- Unsalted butter (4 tablespoons)
- Fresh berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries) (1 cup)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- In a 10-inch cast iron skillet or any oven-safe pan, add the unsalted butter. Place the skillet in the preheated oven for a few minutes until the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, creating a non-stick surface.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour the batter into the skillet, ensuring even distribution. Return the skillet to the oven immediately.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
- Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pancake to cool for a few minutes. It will naturally deflate slightly.
- Dust the pancake generously with powdered sugar and serve warm, topped with fresh berries.
- Slice into wedges and enjoy your delightful Dutch Baby Pancakes!
