Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup blueberries
  • Optional for topping: confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  • Place the butter in a 6.5-inch cast iron skillet or a 5x5-inch oven-safe dish. Pop it directly into your oven and preheat to 400°F (200°C).
    This preheats the pan for even cooking and helps the Dutch Baby puff up beautifully.
  • Whisk the egg, milk, vanilla, and sugar in a small bowl, or blend them together using a blender.
  • Mix in the flour and salt, whisking well to eliminate any lumps.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Swirl the skillet to coat the surface evenly with the melted butter.
  • Scatter the blueberries in the skillet, then pour the batter over them.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake puffs up in the middle and turns golden brown around the edges.
  • Gently lift the Dutch Baby out of the skillet with a spatula, transferring it to a cooling rack or a plate. Let it cool slightly, then sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and add more berries on top if you like.

Notes

  • Smooth Batter is Key: Aim for a batter with minimal lumps. A whisk or an electric mixer will help you achieve this.
  • Preheat the Pan for Perfection: Heating the skillet in the oven before adding the batter is crucial for a good rise. This preheats the pan for even cooking and helps the Dutch Baby puff up beautifully.
  • Skillet Size Matters: A 6.5-inch cast iron skillet or a 5-inch baking dish are ideal for this recipe. Using a larger pan will result in a flatter Dutch Baby. You can find examples of the dishes we use on our Store Page.
  • Heatproof Dish Required: Make sure your skillet or baking dish can withstand the 400°F (200°C) oven temperature.
