Dutch Baby Adapted Recipe Template Recipe For Hand

DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Put a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe nonstick pan into the oven and heat for at least 5 minutes.
• In a blender, combine the eggs, flour, milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, the salt, and vanilla. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender jar as necessary, about 30 seconds.
• Open the oven door and drop the butter into the preheated skillet. Close the oven and allow the butter to melt, about 2 minutes (do not let it burn). Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it's hot. Pour the batter into the buttered skillet and carefully place the skillet back into the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, until puffed and golden. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (again, place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it's hot). Dust with confectioners' sugar and top with berries, if desired, then cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup.

SAVORY PROSCIUTTO AND SWISS DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, sugar, polenta, and salt in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Add the milk mixture to flour mixture and whisk until smooth. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425°F with oven rack in lower third of oven. Remove batter from the refrigerator. Whisk until well combined and allow to stand at room temperature while oven preheats. Prepare your prosciutto, cheese and butter to have handy as you'll need to work quickly.
• Place a 10-inch (top diameter) cast-iron skillet in preheated oven and let heat 15 minutes. Remove the hot skillet from oven and add butter pieces to skillet and swirl, until butter is completely melted and beginning to brown.
• Whisk batter again until well combined and working quickly, pour batter into skillet. Arrange prosciutto and cheese around edges of batter, leaving about a 4-inch-wide circle in centre. *If you want crispy prosciutto, make sure you don't cover it with the cheese. Immediately return skillet to oven, and bake until golden brown, puffed, 16 to 20 minutes.
• While the Dutch baby bakes, add the arugula to a medium bowl. In a small jar or bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, vinegar, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Cover and shake or whisk vigorously until well combined. Drizzle dressing over arugula, until moistened (you may not need quite all of it).
• Remove Dutch baby from oven. Let stand 1 minute (it will deflate as it rests). Top with dressed arugula and serve.

APPLE-CHEDDAR DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Heat the butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once it's bubbling, add the apples and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• While the apples cook, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and remaining ¾ teaspoon salt until mostly smooth. It's okay if a few small lumps remain.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the apples. Top with the shredded cheese. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.
