Print Recipe

A spectacular breakfast treat with dramatically puffed edges and a tender center.

Loaded with fresh mixed berries and dusted with powdered sugar.

Easier than traditional pancakes with a more impressive presentation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (plus 1 tbsp for the pan)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries)
  • Powdered sugar for serving
  • Maple syrup for serving (optional)
  • Fresh whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside to heat for at least 10 minutes.
  2. In a blender or bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, sugar, salt, vanilla (if using), and flour until completely smooth with no lumps.
  3. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts.
  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
  5. Quickly pour the batter into the center of the hot buttered skillet.
  6. Immediately sprinkle the berries evenly over the batter.
  7. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the pancake is dramatically puffed around the edges, golden brown, and the center is set.
  8. Remove from oven and dust with powdered sugar while still hot.
  9. Serve immediately, straight from the skillet or sliced into wedges.

Notes

Room temperature ingredients are essential for achieving the best rise.

Don’t open the oven while baking as temperature changes can cause the dutch baby to deflate prematurely.

This pancake deflates quickly after removal from the oven – this is normal and expected.

For a gluten-free version, substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
