Dutch Baby Pancake
This large, fluffy pancake is excellent for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dessert any time of year. And it comes together in about five blessed minutes. Just dump all of the ingredients into a blender, give it a good whirl, pour it into a heated skillet sizzling with butter, and pop it into the oven. Twenty-five minutes later? Bliss. It's wonderful simply with sugar, syrup or preserves, but you also can serve it with fresh berries and whipped cream, apple slices cooked in butter and sugar or banana slices lightly cooked then dusted with brown sugar.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 60g all-purpose flour
- 120ml whole milk, at room temperature
- 15g sugar
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 60g unsalted butter
- Syrup, preserves, confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar (for serving)
Instructions
Heat oven to 220°C.
Combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar and nutmeg in a blender jar and blend until very smooth. Batter may also be mixed by hand.
Place butter in a heavy 25cm skillet and place in the oven. As soon as the butter has melted (watch it so it does not burn) add the batter to the pan, return pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden. Lower oven temperature to 150°C and bake 5 minutes longer.
Remove pancake from oven, cut into wedges and serve with syrup, preserves, or sugar.
