Ingredients

• 3 Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Optional powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan in the oven while it heats.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, about 20-30 seconds. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.

Step 3

Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the skillet and add the butter. Let it melt completely, tilting the pan to coat the bottom and sides evenly.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the hot skillet. Quickly return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed and golden brown.

Step 5

While the Dutch baby is baking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.

Step 6

As soon as the Dutch baby comes out of the oven, generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. It will stick to the warm surface, creating a flavorful crust.

Step 7

For an optional garnish, sift powdered sugar over the Dutch baby before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 8

Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy this delightful combination of a fluffy pancake base with a sweet, cinnamony topping!
