Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the Dutch baby cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the batter. This will help the Dutch baby rise quickly and get a nice crispy crust.
  • Pour the batter into the hot skillet and immediately place it in the oven. Do not stir the batter or move the skillet around, as this will prevent the Dutch baby from rising properly.
  • Bake the Dutch baby for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and puffed up. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this will cause the Dutch baby to deflate.
  • Serve the Dutch baby immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, powdered sugar, fruit, and whipped cream.

A chocolate Dutch baby is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With its crispy edges and fluffy center, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
