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.

Delicious and easy! Needs tweaking
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I just made this for my husband and myself, I was disappointed when I opened the oven door to see that it had burned on the... edges! However it was very tasty, crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. I will make this again because it was so good and easy, but i will increase my oven temp and decrease the cook time. Also I don't own a 10-in. cast iron skillet so I used a nonstick pan and it worked just fine, but it you have the cast iron use it. Read more

Delicious and Easy Breakfast Treat
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I LOVE making this dish in the mornings. So quick and easy! I love to put lemon and powdered sugar on top, gives it a fresh... taste... I like the recipe without the vanilla aspect, just normal table sugar. Plus: I love that it is large enough for a couple day's breakfasts (even though it usually doesn't last that long!)Read more

Use the Blender
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Hi In addition to doubling the recipe, using vanilla and sugar instead of vanilla sugar, if you increase the temperature... to 425 and 20 or 25 minutes, put the ingredients into a blender, mix, then blend on highest setting for two minutes, have the pan hot in the oven, pour it in and it works like a charm. That's how they do it at the Original House of Pancakes. Other than that, the recipe is perfect. :-)Read more

American Baby Eats Dutch Baby...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This popped back into my head this morning after seeing the episode quite some time ago, so I made it for breakfast for my... husband and 17-month-old daughter. This isn't something I'd had before, but we all loved it. I followed the advice of Heather below by doubling the recipe and using the suggested slightly higher temp and shorter cooking time, it was so cool to see it all puffed up coming out of the oven. Also made a lemon juice/butter/powdered sugar glaze, topped with blueberries, yum! We are major Good Eats fans around here and continue to be very rarely disappointed...Read more

I just cant get them to rise much and when they do its in the center, not along the edges all crispy. Any suggestions???Read more

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
