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!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
- Try experimenting with different toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or even lemon juice for a bright twist.
- To make individual servings, use smaller skillets or ramekins to create mini Dutch Babies.
