Dutch Baby

By bakers_delight85

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp. sugar, optional
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 4 large eggs
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• Confectioners’ sugar
• Lemon wedges
• Fruit preserves or jam, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Generously butter a 10-inch skillet.
Whisk the flour, sugar if desired, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the eggs and milk and whisk until well combined. Add the butter and whisk until it disappears into the batter.
Pour into the prepared skillet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve the Dutch baby immediately, cutting with a knife or spoon into 4 wedges. (They will deflate as they cool.) Dust each portion with confectioners’ sugar and garnish with lemons for squeezing over the top. Add a spoonful of preserves to the baby if you wish.
