Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
- Make the Batter: In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, salt, vanilla extract, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, about 20-30 seconds.
- Cook the Dutch Baby: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the butter to the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom and sides. Once melted, pour the batter into the skillet.
- Bake: Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
- Add Blueberries: Once the Dutch Baby is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the top. The heat from the Dutch Baby will warm the berries.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with extra blueberries and a slice of lemon, if desired. Serve immediately while it’s still warm and puffy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half instead of whole milk.
- You can substitute the fresh blueberries with frozen berries, but be sure to thaw and drain them first.
- If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, any oven-safe baking dish or pan can be used. Just ensure it’s preheated to help the Dutch Baby rise.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle with maple syrup or honey.
