Description

When it comes to easy but impressive brunch dishes, Dutch babies are hard to beat. They come together with minimal ingredients, are easy to make even if you’re groggy and moving slow, and they make a beautifully browned, puffy brunch centerpiece that can be sweet or savory.

Directions

1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 F with a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside.
2. Whisk together the milk, eggs, and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Whisk in the flour to make a mostly smooth batter (a few lumps are ok).
4. Add the butter to the hot skillet and swirl the butter around to coat the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan.
5. Pour the batter into the skillet and return the pan to the oven immediately. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the pancake is puffed and deep golden brown.
6. Serve the pancake hot, sprinkled liberally with powdered sugar and lemon juice to taste.
