Dutch Baby Pancake with Strawberries

A Dutch Baby pancake makes an easy but impressive looking breakfast. I used adapted this easy recipe from The Kitchn and topped it with powered sugar and strawberries.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole or 2% milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Powdered sugar, maple syrup, and jam, for serving
Whisk
Spatula
9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet

Sliced strawberries or fruit of choice

Instructions:

1. Mix the batter: Place the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until all ingredients are incorporated. The batter will be quite loose and liquidy.
2. Rest the batter: Leave the batter in the bowl and set aside to rest 20 to 25 minutes. This gives the flour time to absorb the liquid.
3. Heat the pan and oven: Meanwhile, place the skillet you're using on a middle rack to warm along with the oven. Heat the oven to 425°F.
4. Melt the butter: When ready to make the pancake, remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts and place it on top of the stove. Add the butter and swirl the pan to melt the butter and coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
5. Add the batter: Pour the batter on top of the butter. Tilt the pan if needed so that the batter runs evenly to all sides. Place the skillet in the oven.
6. Bake the Dutch baby: Bake until the Dutch baby is puffed, lightly browned across the top, and darker brown on the sides and edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
7. Serve while hot: You can either serve from the pan or transfer the Dutch baby to a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar. Top with sliced strawberries or fruit of choice. Cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup or jam.
