Dutch baby
Formula
- 3 eggs
- 120 g milk
- 70 g flour
- 15 g sugar
- 2 g salt
- 30 g butter
Method
- Start. Blend eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and salt until smooth; rest 10 minutes.Watch for: Keep it covered during the rest; move on only when it is evenly cool or firm, including at the center. Apply a thin, even coat and keep it off cut edges or seams unless the step says otherwise.
- Then. Heat butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet until foaming.Watch for: Let the oven heat for at least 20 minutes and position the rack before the batter or dough is ready. Cover so the surface cannot dry out and judge readiness by volume and feel, not the clock alone; a cool room may need longer.
- Finish. Add batter and bake 18–22 minutes without opening the door.Watch for: Begin checking at the early end of the range; use the stated color, movement, or internal-temperature cue rather than time alone.
The concept
Heat placement governs where a batter rises.
