Ingredients
For the Dutch Puff
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
Make the Dutch Puff
- Place a 10” cast iron skillet into the oven. Preheat the oven (with the skillet inside) to 425°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla bean paste until combined.
- Add the salt and flour slowly, whisking continually. This will ensure you don't get any lumps in the batter.
- Add the butter to the skillet and place it back in the oven for exactly 30 seconds-- this will help the butter brown but not burn. Swirl it around in the pan to coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour the batter into the skillet and place the skillet back into the oven. Similar to a souffle, don’t open the oven door while baking or your dutch baby may not rise properly!
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the sides are puffed and golden brown.
