Dutch Baby

Recipe #74146 | 45 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 2 -3 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: sugarpea

I've had these a lot at B&B's, probably because they're delicious and dependable if the right technique is used. This dish is puffy around the outside and flat in the center offering the perfect nest for sliced fresh fruit. It's airy, light and makes a beautiful presentation. The batter can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated.

    I loved this so much I made it two days in a row for breakfast. The first time I made it, the amount of butter in the dish turned me off...I'm just no Paula Deen, I guess. My butter was frozen to start with, so when I took the dish out of the oven, all of it hadn't melted yet. So I rubbed the remaining stick up the sides of the dish and on the rim and threw the rest out. There was still a shallow pool of butter on the bottom. After it baked, I sopped up the butter with a paper towel from the middle of the dutch baby. I dusted it generously with powdered sugar and served it with fresh blueberries. The next day I cut the butter down to 2T and still threw out just a tad of it after coating the dish and sopped up the butter after baking. The second day we ate it with blueberries and mangoes. I took the recommendation from another reviewer to bake at 425 for 15 min and then down to 325 for an additional 8-10 min. I will definitely be making this dish often!

    Really great brunch idea. Soft and light. I reduced the temperature to 425 and time to 15 minutes and the second temp to 325 and it was excellent. Used raspberries unsparingly.

    We just finished eating this for breakfast and had to rate this right away. It was fantastic. This will definitely be served often at our house, for breakfast or even for an evening dessert. So many possibilities. I whipped up some whipping cream but found this so delicious on its own that none of us used it. I'm looking forward to making use of the wow effect of this dish next time I have company. So easy...so rewarding! Thanks for a great recipe.

    I love this! It really does puff up very nicely. Mine got pretty black on the top but I think my oven runs a little hot, so I'm sure that was my doing; next time I'll bake at a slightly lower temp and I'm sure it will come out even better. This was so easy to put together and has a wow! presentation for a brunch, especially if you put berries and powdered sugar in the center.
