Instructions
Dutch Baby
Take the eggs and milk out of the fridge at least a half hour before you're ready to cook. Measure out the 1/2 cup of milk so you don't need to leave your whole container of milk out
Place your Cast Iron in the oven and preheat to 375 degrees
Add the flour, Sugar, and Salt to your food processor, blender, or bowl, and pulse a few times to fully incorporate
Melt 2 Tablespoons of Butter, allow to cool a bit before adding
Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and butter to your food processor
Blend until it has a smooth and airy texture, about 30 seconds
Remove the hot pan from the oven and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in it, spread it around to coat the surface
Add the batter to the hot pan and put back in the oven
Set a timer for 20 minutes and do not disturb or open the oven while cooking!
Making the Sauce
Once the dutch baby is in the oven, add blueberries, blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water to a small pot or saucepan
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat
Dissolve 2 teaspoons cornstarch in 1.5 tablespoons water
Once boiling, add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and stir
Lower heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes
Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit as your dutch baby finishes
Drizzle the sauce on the dutch baby, dust with powdered sugar or any other topping you desire, and enjoy!
