Dutch Baby

This is a super easy breakfast recipe thats relatively fast to make.  You pretty much just run all the ingredients through a blender then pop them into a skillet and pop the skillet into the oven.  Its more or less a huge popover.  Some people might be put off by the Dr. Oetker because it's artificially flavored.  If you are one of those all natural, locally grown, organic people you can switch it out for some other vanilla sugar, but Dr. Oetker is what my Oma always uses when she bakes.  A lot of grocery stores carry it but if you can't find it try a German grocery store.


2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp butter
2 1/2 oz AP flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 packets Dr. Oetker Vanilla Sugar
1 pinch of salt

powder sugar to serve
Maple syrup/honey/ice cream/whipped cream/fruit to serve

1. preheat the oven to 350
2. pop a 10 inch cast iron skillet in the oven for 10 minutes to heat it up.
3. add the unmelted butter to the skillet and return to the oven to heat it up.
4. while the butter is melting in the oven, in a blender combine the eggs, milk, 1 tbsp melted butter, flour, sugars, and salt. Blend for 20-30 seconds.
4.  Immediately pour the batter into the skillet and return to the oven, bake for 30-35 minutes.  When its golden brown around the edges and all puffed up, remove from the oven, slide out of the skillet and dust with powdered sugar and cut into wedges with a pizza cutter.
