DUTCH BABY WITH BLUEBERRY-ORANGE COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the Dutch baby: Place an ovenproof 12-inch skillet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Blend on high to make a smooth batter. Let the batter rest while the oven heats up.
• Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the skillet and add the butter. Let the butter melt and sizzle, then pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven.
• Bake the Dutch baby until the edges are puffed and browned and the middle is set, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the blueberry-orange compote: Meanwhile, zest the orange into a small skillet; squeeze the juice from half of the orange into the skillet. Add the granulated sugar, nutmeg and blueberries. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, swirling the skillet, until the sauce is thick and syrupy and the berries are beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Keep warm.
• Serve the Dutch baby hot, topped with the compote and dusted with confectioners' sugar if desired.
