CHEF JOHN'S BLUEBERRY DUTCH BABY
You're in for a huge treat with this blueberry studded baked pancake--it's rich and satisfying but surprisingly light tasting. The true magic of a Dutch baby is the contrast of texture between the crispy, crusty outside and the soft, custardy, fruity center. This version is not only gorgeous and delicious, but it's fun and simple to make! There's no sugar in the batter, so all the sweetness comes from the berries and the powdered sugar. For a sweeter version, serve with maple syrup like regular blueberry pancakes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Combine flour, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk in a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and very thin, about 1 minute.
- Heat a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat. Pour clarified butter into the skillet and use a pastry brush to grease the sides. Heat butter until just starting to smoke.
- Quickly and carefully pour the batter into the center of the skillet, then sprinkle blueberries over top. Transfer skillet to the center of the preheated oven and bake until browned and nicely puffed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Carefully remove from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted butter. Squeeze lemon juice over top as Dutch baby deflates. Dust with powdered sugar.
- Cut in wedges to serve and drizzle with maple syrup.

Steps:
- Peel core and chop the pear.
- Put the fruit in a saucepan simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Puree in a blender, add the infant cereal at this point.
- Cool slightly and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, sweet fruits: Blueberries and pears that are ripe and sweet will taste the best in this puree. Look for blueberries that are plump and blue-black in color, and pears that are slightly soft to the touch and have a golden-yellow color.
- Steam or boil the pears until soft: This will help to break down the pears and make them easier for your baby to digest. You can steam the pears in a steamer basket over boiling water, or you can boil them in a pot of water.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the fruits: This will create a smooth and creamy puree that your baby will love. If you are using a food processor, you may need to add a little bit of water to help the pureeing process.
- Add breast milk or formula to the puree: This will help to thin out the puree and make it easier for your baby to eat. You can also add a little bit of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the puree for flavor.
- Store the puree in the refrigerator for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the puree in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Blueberries and pears are a delicious and nutritious combination for babies. This puree is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for later use. It is a great way to introduce your baby to new fruits and flavors.
