Here’s a puffy, golden Dutch Baby Pancake recipe—crispy edges, custardy center, and so easy to make! 🥞✨
Dutch Baby Pancake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk (whole milk works best)
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for batter)
- 2 tbsp butter (for the skillet)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a cast-iron skillet (or oven-safe pan) in the oven to heat up.
- Blend the batter: In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, and melted butter. Blend for 30 seconds until smooth. (You can also whisk by hand, but blending makes it extra airy!)
- Melt butter in the hot skillet: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add 2 tbsp butter, swirling to coat.
- Pour in the batter quickly and place the skillet back in the oven.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes—the pancake will puff up dramatically!
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately (it will deflate slightly).
