Holiday Berry Dutch Baby
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 3⁄4 cups whole milk
- 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 tsp salt
- 6 Tbsp butter
- 1 cup frozen berries
- Zest of 1 orange
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- Powdered sugar for topping (optional)
- Fresh berries for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare: In a medium mixing bowl with a spout, add the eggs, milk, flour, and salt. Using an immersion blender, mix ingredients until blended. Alternatively, place all ingredients in a blender, and blend. Set the batter aside. The closer it is to room temperature, the better rise the dutch baby will have. Place an 8 inch cast iron pan on the middle rack, being sure there is no rack above it, and preheat the oven to 445°F. When the oven has reached its temperature, remove the cast iron pan from the oven and melt the butter in it. Pour the batter into the buttered pan, blanket with berries and orange zest, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, making sure to not open the oven door while baking.
- Serve: Remove dutch baby from the oven and top with any desired toppings, such as powdered sugar, additional orange zest, or fresh berries.
