Enchanted Blueberry Dutch Baby
Imagine a breakfast that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook. That’s what a Blueberry Dutch Baby does. It’s not just a dish; it’s a morning ritual that promises to start your day with a sprinkle of joy.
Ingredients
3 large eggs, room temperature (they’re the magic spell for puffiness)
2/3 cup whole milk, room temperature (for a creamy texture)
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (the foundation of our fairy-tale)
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling (because every fairy-tale has a sweet side)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a hint of enchantment)
Pinch of salt (to balance the sweetness)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for that golden touch)
1 cup fresh blueberries (the jewels of our story)
Powdered sugar, for dusting (like a dusting of snow)
Lemon wedges, for serving (to add a twist of fate)
Maple syrup, for serving (because what’s a fairy-tale without a little syrup?)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). The heat is the catalyst for our Dutch Baby’s transformation.
2. In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth, creating a potion that will bring our Dutch Baby to life.
3. Melt the butter in your cast-iron skillet over medium heat, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides. This skillet isn’t just a pan; it’s the cauldron where our magic happens.
4. Pour the batter into the skillet, then sprinkle the blueberries evenly on top. They’ll sink a little, but that’s just them getting cozy.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed and golden around the edges. This is when the magic reaches its peak.
6. Remove from the oven, and let it cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, and serve with lemon wedges and maple syrup on the side. Each bite is a journey to a magical land.
And there you have it, a Blueberry Dutch Baby so delightful, it might just become your new morning ritual. Remember, the best meals are those shared with loved ones, or enjoyed in the quiet moments of dawn. Enjoy your enchanted breakfast!
