Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, melted and divided
2 3/8 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1/2 cup
3 tablespoons vanilla sugar, plus extra for serving
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
Lemon wedges

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place 2 tablespoons of the melted butter into a 10-inch cast iron skillet and place in the oven. Set the remaining tablespoon of melted butter aside to cool slightly. Wait 10 minutes before assembling the other ingredients.

Place the flour, vanilla sugar, salt, milk, eggs and remaining tablespoon of melted butter into the bowl of a food processor or blender and process for 30 seconds. Carefully pour the batter into the preheated skillet. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the edges are puffed and brown. Sprinkle with additional vanilla sugar and serve with lemon wedges.

Great and Easy Recipe, But...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thank goodness my girlfriend and I read the Comments and Reviews before we started. We doubled the recipe and it was just... enough for the two of us. (and we are not over weight or have over sized appetites) Also we cooked double the recipe at 400 for 20 min and that was plenty of time. Try making a lemon syrup out of butter, lemon, and powdered sugar... It's phenomenal!!!! Read more

Just about as good as The Original Pancake House D.B....Yum!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very delicious and easy! Like previous reviewers, I did not have vanilla sugar and so I used 3 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp. vanilla... and the flavor was great. I also only cooked it for 25 minutes, so watch the timing. I grew up eating these at The (Original) Pancake House in MI and this recipe was just as tasty! Worth the wait for it to cook!Read more

Cooking time too long
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I agree with the previous reviewer entirely. The flavor is great but the cooking time is too long. I made this in a Dutch... baby pan in my oven and the edges got very crusty and hard and the top too brown. Also, it is a just bit heavier than other Dutch Baby recipes I have used in the past. The best recipe that I've used is in an old "Nitty Gritty Productions" cookbook from 1981 entitled BRUNCH. In it the pancake cooks at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. It usually comes out perfect. Alton's proportions of ingredients are very similar to that recipe. Read more

Great Flavor But burns
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Loved the flavor but found the cooking time is either too long or need to be higher temp with less cooing time. The bottom... burned. Sorry Alton.Read more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very easy to make and a real crowd pleaser. I've portioned the batter into small cast iron pans for individual dutch babies.... Just about any fruit is wonderful with this dutch pancake.Read more

SO FUN!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these today and experimented a bit. I didn't have vanilla sugar so I just used 3 Tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon... vanilla extract. I then put then into muffin tins-about 1/3-1/2 full and baked them for 18 minutes. They turned out like little bowls, which we filled with a peach compote we made. They were delicious and a hit with my kids! Don't forget to put the butter in the bottom of each little hole of your muffin tin, just like you would put it in the bottom of your cast iron skillet.Read more
