Recipes Breakfast and Brunch Pancake Recipes Baked Pancake Recipes Chef John's Blueberry Dutch Baby 4.9 (94) 79 Reviews 74 Photos You're in for a huge treat with this blueberry studded baked pancake--it's rich and satisfying but surprisingly light tasting. The true magic of a Dutch baby is the contrast of texture between the crispy, crusty outside and the soft, custardy, fruity center. This version is not only gorgeous and delicious, but it's fun and simple to make! There's no sugar in the batter, so all the sweetness comes from the berries and the powdered sugar. For a sweeter version, serve with maple syrup like regular blueberry pancakes.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings ½ cup packed all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon fine salt ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract 3 large eggs, at room temperature ⅔ cup milk, at room temperature 3 tablespoons clarified butter, melted ⅓ cup fresh blueberries, or more to taste 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted ½ Meyer lemon, juiced 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, or to taste 2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste (Optional) Directions Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Combine flour, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk in a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and very thin, about 1 minute. Place a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat; add clarified butter into the skillet and use a pastry brush to grease the sides. Heat butter until just starting to smoke. Quickly and carefully pour the batter into the center of the skillet, then sprinkle blueberries over top. Transfer skillet to the center of the preheated oven and bake until browned and nicely puffed, 20 to 25 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted butter. Squeeze lemon juice over top as Dutch baby deflates. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut in wedges to serve and drizzle with maple syrup. Chef's Notes If you don't have a high-speed blender, a regular blender will work, but it may take a couple more minutes to blend the batter.Clarified butter is butter that I've melted and skimmed off the milk solids from the top, which leaves me with pure butterfat. To make 3 tablespoons clarified butter, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small, heavy saucepan over low heat without stirring, being careful not to burn it. As butter melts, it will separate into 3 layers. Skim off the white foam with a spoon and save for another use. Remove the pan from heat when butter is melted and no more foam rises to the top. Let it cool until more solids settle to the bottom, about 5 minutes. Skim off any last bits of foam. Slowly spoon off the clear butterfat into a glass measuring cup, leaving as much of the solids behind as you can. Line a mesh strainer with several layers of cheesecloth and pour butterfat through the cheesecloth into a heat-proof bowl.You can use any fresh berry in place of blueberries.I'm saying this makes 2 servings instead of 4 since, for a breakfast or brunch item, 1/4 of this would be a very small portion.
