Description

This Blueberry Lemon Dutch Baby is a delightful, puffy oven-baked pancake featuring a bright lemon flavor and bursting fresh blueberries. Cooked in a cast-iron skillet, it offers a crisp, golden edge with a soft, custard-like center, perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. The batter is quickly blended to a smooth consistency and baked to airy perfection in just under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Fruit

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Skillet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside to heat thoroughly while you prepare the batter.
  2. Blend Batter: In a blender, combine the eggs, whole milk, all-purpose flour, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend for 20–30 seconds until smooth. Let the batter rest while the oven reaches the proper temperature.
  3. Prepare Skillet: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the unsalted butter and swirl the skillet to evenly coat the bottom and sides, allowing the butter to melt completely.
  4. Add Batter and Blueberries: Pour the blended batter into the hot, butter-coated skillet. Immediately sprinkle fresh blueberries evenly over the top without stirring.
  5. Bake: Place the skillet back into the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed up dramatically and golden brown around the edges.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy its puffiness before it settles. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness.

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet is very hot before adding the butter and batter for maximum puff and crispiness.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the Dutch baby from deflating.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor and texture.
  • You can add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup at serving for extra sweetness.
  • If you do not have a blender, you can whisk the ingredients vigorously by hand until smooth.
