A light, golden, dramatically puffed Dutch baby pancake made in a hot cast iron skillet, perfect for sweet or savory toppings. Simple ingredients, quick prep, and endlessly customizable.
For the Dutch baby:
1 1/4 cups skim, 1%, or 2% milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup corn starch
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp butter
For citrus sugar topping:
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp orange zest
1 tsp lemon zest
1 lemon wedge
For lox & cream cheese topping:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 Tbsp full-fat sour cream
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp chopped chives, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt
1 Persian cucumber, sliced 1/4″ thick
4 oz sliced smoked salmon
1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp capers, drained
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
For caramel banana topping:
Add vanilla or almond extract to the batter for extra flavor.
For a savory version, omit sugar and add toppings like mushrooms, herbs, or cheese.
Fresh berries, Nutella, or whipped cream also make great toppings.
Serve immediately for maximum puff.
Leftovers reheat best in the oven, not the microwave.
