I post a lot about brunch around here. I guess it's pretty reasonable to suggest that I may be a big fan. I'm usually pretty chatty about pancakes and baking eggs but today we're mixing the two and whipping up a dutch baby!
I'll be real here, I had no idea what a dutch baby was until David forced me to watch every single episode of Bob's Burgers on repeat and there was a Christmas episode that featured a Dutch Baby. I grudgingly admit that it piqued my curiosity, so I did a little research and it's basically a delicious, light and fluffy baked pancake. Oh and it's also ridiculously easy to make. I used a blender to mix all of the ingredients, let it sit for 20 minutes, poured it into my cast-iron pan, baked, and voila! SO. FREAKING. EASY.
It can be sweet or savory and I promise it will instantly become a brunch staple in your kitchen...
I've tried it a few different way to make the experience even more magical: plain, topped with berries, jam and any other sweet and delectable toppings. Not mention the savory flavors by lining the cast iron with sliced turkey and cheese. I will suggest that if you're going opt for toppings during baking (I suggest the sweets after it's done) line the bottom of the pan do it with small pieces that won't block the Dutch Baby to rise. You need that baby to rise...
Let's dive in, shall we?
