Instructions
Dutch Baby- Take the eggs and milk out of the fridge at least a half hour before you're ready to cook. Measure out the 1/2 cup of milk so you don't need to leave your whole container of milk out
- Place your Cast Iron in the oven and preheat to 375 degrees
- Add the flour, Sugar, and Salt to your food processor, blender, or bowl, and pulse a few times to fully incorporate
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Allow to cool a bit before adding
- Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and butter to your food processor
- Blend until it has a smooth and airy texture, about 30 seconds
- Remove the hot pan from the oven and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in it, spread it around to coat the surface and sides
- Place the pan back in the oven for a few minutes, pulse your blender a few times while you wait to introduce more air to the mixture
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately add the batter. Place back in the oven
- Set a timer for 20 minutes and do not disturb or open the oven while cooking!
- Remove, add toppings, and enjoy!
- Once the dutch baby is in the oven, add blueberries, blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water to a small pot or saucepan
- Quickly bring to a boil over medium-high heat
- Once boiling, add the corn starch mixture to the sauce and stir
- Lower heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened. About 10 minutes
- Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit as your dutch oven finishes
Drizzle the sauce over your dutch baby, add powdered sugar or other toppings, and enjoy it while it's hot!
