How to Make a Dutch Baby
Preheat your oven to 450°F. Combine your eggs, milk and flour to create a rustic dough. (It should be very runny). While your dough “rests” for 5 minutes, melt your butter into a large cast iron pan.
Once your oven is ready, pour the dough into the pan and place in the over for 16-18 minutes. Voila!
This beautiful puff of pastry is the easiest, quickest, and most versatile thing to hit my kitchen in awhile.
Variations on the Dutch Baby
This brilliantly simple recipe can be tweaked with minimal effort to serve your kitchen in a number of ways:
Add some rosemary and garlic to the butter for a side bread dish.
Add some cinnamon and sugar to the butter, and serve with vanilla ice cream for a variation on sopapillas.
Add some powdered sugar and apple pie stuffing for a quick variation on apple pie.
Add some taco meat, lettuce, salsa and sour cream for a quick variation on a taco bowl.
Or add some marinara and cheese for a cast iron pizza like my friend at Hillsborough Homesteading!
