Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, peeled, and cut into 1/4-inch wedges
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on center rack. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high. When it boils, reduce heat to medium; simmer until foamy. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan, until foam subsides, butter turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, and milk solids separate into brown specks that sink to bottom, 2 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; immediately transfer to a heatproof bowl.
  • Stir together sugar and cardamom. In a large bowl, beat eggs on medium-high until pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Add flour, salt, milk, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon cardamom sugar; beat until smooth, about 1 minute (batter will be thin).
  • Carefully remove skillet from oven. Add brown butter and apple, stirring a few times to evenly coat. Spread apple into a single layer; pour batter into skillet. Bake until puffed, crisp on top, and golden brown in places, 20 to 25 minutes. Immediately sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cardamom sugar. Cut into wedges and serve, with sour cream and remaining cardamom sugar.

A Dutch Baby is somewhere between a custard, a crepe, and a pancake, and it couldn't be simpler to make. All the ingredients get whipped together in a blender for a super-airy texture and minimal cleanup.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Melt butter in a medium cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns (do not burn), about 5 minutes. Swirl butter in skillet to coat sides of pan, then transfer half to a small bowl; set aside.
  • Blend eggs, flour, milk, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar in a blender until pale and foamy, about 1 minute. Pour batter into hot skillet, then transfer to oven and bake until puffed and lightly browned, 15-20 minutes.
  • Drizzle with reserved brown butter and sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar. Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Using a well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help ensure that your Dutch baby cooks evenly and doesn't stick.
  • Make sure the butter is browned before adding the batter to the skillet. This will give the Dutch baby a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the Dutch baby tough.
  • Pour the batter into the center of the skillet and then tilt the skillet to spread it out evenly.
  • Bake the Dutch baby in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is puffed and golden brown.
  • Serve the Dutch baby immediately with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

A Dutch baby is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a light and fluffy pancake that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it to a crowd or enjoying it on your own, a Dutch baby is sure to please everyone at the table.
