Pancake Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan inside to heat up.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Melt the Butter

    Remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the butter, letting it melt completely and coat the bottom of the pan.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pancake

    Pour the batter into the hot skillet over the melted butter. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the Dutch Baby from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve topped with lemon curd, lingonberry, toasted almonds, chantilly cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
