I hadn't made a Dutch baby for breakfast since my first attempt, so I thought I'd whip one up this past Sunday for Julie, who wasn't in town the first time.
I have to say, this is really a great change from our Sunday morning 'defaults'- pancakes or French toast, and it's really, really easy to prepare. The recipe calls for a 375 oven temp, which is a little hotter than I like to cook bacon, so I let the cast iron skillet heat up in the oven while I cooked the bacon most of the way through. I then cranked the oven up to the higher temp, and removed the sheet pan with the bacon until the Dutch Baby had risen beautifully and was set, at which point it was safe to pop the bacon back in the oven for the last 10 minutes or so.
I didn't make compote this time, but it was awesome just with the powder sugar and some organic maple syrup. I might add another egg next time, but it's awfully good as is.
dutch baby indeed , I'm gonna have to try this one on frenchy sunday morning.
They're really good. Just make sure you've got the pan nice and hot when you add the batter, so that it rises right.
Take pictures!
