Dutch Baby
This Dutch Baby recipe yields a wonderfully airy and delectable treat that pairs perfectly with your favorite toppings, whether sweet or savory. Just imagine pulling this golden, puffy delight out of the oven—it’s sure to impress!

Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Powdered sugar, for serving
- Optional toppings: fresh fruit, maple syrup, or whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven while it preheats.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt and bubble.
- Pour the prepared batter into the skillet over the melted butter. Be careful, as the skillet will be very hot.
- Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and puffy.
- Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly. The Dutch Baby will begin to deflate, which is perfectly normal.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Dutch Baby! It’s a wonderful crowd-pleaser that everyone will love. Don’t forget to share this treat with your friends and family!
