Dutch Baby

I saw this recipe on Cook's Country, which is part of America's Test Kitchen, and wanted to try it.  It's a fairly easy recipe & while the dutch baby was baking, I fixed the rest of our breakfast.  The recipe doesn't have any sugar in it, therefore, it really needs some powdered sugar, sweetened strawberries or syrup.  Here's the recipe:

                                                                                          It looks like a giant popover !!

2 T. vegetable oil (I really didn't need that much)
1 c. flour
1/4 c. cornstarch
2 t. zest & 2 T. juice from 1 lemon
1 t. salt
3 large eggs
1 1/4 c. skim milk
1 T. unsalted butter, melted & cooled
1 t. vanilla
3 T. confectioners' sugar

Adjust oven rack to middle position & heat oven to 450 degrees.  Brush surface & sides of large skillet with oil.  (I used a 10" stainless steel skillet).  Place skillet on oven rack & heat until oil is shimmering, about 10 minutes.


Combine flour, cornstarch, lemon zest & salt in large bowl.  Whisk eggs in another bowl until frothy & light, about 1 minute.  Whisk milk, butter & vanilla into eggs until incorporated. Whisk one-third of milk mixture into flour mixture until no lumps remain then slowly whisk in remaining milk mixture until smooth.

Carefully pour batter into heated skillet & bake until edges of Dutch Baby are deep, golden brown & crisp, about 20 minutes.  Remove to wire rack & sprinkle the Dutch Baby with the lemon juice & confectioners'  sugar.  Cut into wedges to serve.  For an added treat, serve with an array of berries & sweetened whipped cream. 


NOTE:  The Dutch Baby will deflate after it sits.  It's supposed to!

I am sharing this with Pink Saturday. 


Serves 4                                           M-m-m, the finished product!

  2. I am so excited to see this recipe! The Original Pancake House has this and they squeeze fresh lemon over it and then dust it with powdered sugar, I think. Delish! Thanks for visiting my blog today!

  3. Yum! I used to make something similar to this all the time, but it's been years. Thank you for inspiring me to make it once more! I think I'll use your recipe this time, though. It looks amazing.

  8. I love Dutch Babies too AND, like Vicki, also love The Original Pancake House! My recipe is a little different, its 1/3 c. butter, melted in pan in oven, 4 eggs, 1 c milk and 1 c flour, blended together. Bake at 425 for 20 min. Your post was a timely reminder for me, and I made one for my husband's birthday breakfast! With lemon and powdered sugar, YUM! Happy PS!
