Dutch Baby

This was a breakfast treat for me when I was growing up... I loved it!  I made this a couple of weeks ago and was sloppy about my preheating/pan heating, but it didn't come out puffy, so make sure you follow the preheating to a T!

1 1/4 c. all-purp flour
1/4 teas. salt
1/4 teas cardamom seeds, crushed (optional, but so wonderful!!)
1/4 c. sugar
2 c. milk
1/4 c water
2 lg eggs
2 T butter
Fresh berries (opt)

Preheat oven to 425. Whisk together flour, salt, cardamom, sugar, milk, water and eggs in a large bowl. Let stand, covered, 20 mins.

When oven is 425, heat a 12" cast iron skillet in the oven for 10 min. Remove from oven and immediately melt the butter in the skillet. Immediately pour in batter; bake until puffed (about 25 min). Cut into wedges. Serve with fresh berries. Yummmmmy....

  1. I have always wanted to try this recipe but thought it was more difficult than this. So yummy! We ate it for dinner with sausage and strawberries. Yum!

  2. You are right.. its simple, but it does take a bit more time than throwing a piece of bread in the toaster, so it would be great as breakfast for dinner! Great idea! Did you try the cardamom?
