Ingredients
Scale
For the batter:
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup (180ml) whole milk
- ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
For baking & topping:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Optional: whipped cream, maple syrup, or extra berries
Instructions
- Prep: Place a 10″ cast-iron or oven-safe skillet in oven. Preheat to 425°F (220°C) for at least 10 minutes.
- Make batter: In a blender or bowl, whisk eggs, milk, flour, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt until smooth (~1 min). Let rest 5–10 min.
- Bake: Carefully remove hot skillet from oven. Add butter; swirl to melt and coat.
→ Immediately pour in batter. Scatter blueberries evenly over top. - Bake 18–22 minutes, until deeply golden and puffed (it will deflate slightly after removing).
- Serve immediately: Dust with powdered sugar, squeeze fresh lemon, and add optional toppings.
💡 Pro Tips:
– Do not open the oven during baking—steam is key to the puff!
– For extra tang, add 1 tbsp lemon juice to the batter.
– Best served straight from the oven—Dutch babies wait for no one!
