A quick and easy Dutch baby pancake recipe perfect for a cozy Sunday breakfast for two, featuring a fluffy center and crispy edges topped with fresh berries and maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries) for topping
  • Pure maple syrup or honey for drizzling
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl or blender, combine 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend or whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and swirl to coat the bottom and sides evenly; the butter should sizzle immediately.
  4. Quickly pour the batter into the hot skillet and return it to the oven.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes without opening the oven door until the edges are puffed and golden brown and the center is tender.
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven and serve immediately, topping with fresh berries, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and lemon zest if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for best puffiness. Preheat the skillet fully before adding batter. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent deflation. Serve immediately as the pancake deflates quickly once out of the oven. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil and milk with almond or oat milk.
