This blueberry Dutch baby is pure magic with its crispy crust and custardy, fruity center.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup packed all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon fine salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 0.66666668653488 cup milk, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons clarified butter, melted
  • 0.33333334326744 cup fresh blueberries, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.5 Meyer lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste
Instructions:
  • Heat the oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a high-speed blender, combine flour, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk. Blend on high speed for about 1 minute until the mixture is completely smooth and very thin.
  • Heat a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat. Add clarified butter and use a pastry brush to grease the sides until the butter begins to smoke.
  • Pour the batter into the skillet and top with blueberries. Bake in the preheated oven until browned and puffed, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove the Dutch baby from the oven with care, then brush the top with luxurious melted butter. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice as it deflates, and sprinkle with a generous dusting of powdered sugar.
  • Cut the dish into wedges and generously drizzle with golden maple syrup for a delightful finish.
