Ingredients
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 3/4 cup whole milk at room temperature
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)
- Fresh lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 400°F.
- Blend eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Let batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Remove the hot skillet from the oven with oven mitts. Add butter and swirl to coat.
- Quickly pour the batter into the hot skillet.
- Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven during the first 20 minutes of baking. Otherwise, the Dutch baby will collapse.
