Blueberry-Lemon Dutch Baby Pancake (Fluffy, Fruity & Irresistible)


  • Author: WAFA LI

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

  1. Prep: Place a 10″ cast-iron or oven-safe skillet in oven. Preheat to 425°F (220°C) for at least 10 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. Bake: Carefully remove hot skillet from oven. Add butter; swirl to melt and coat.
    → Immediately pour in batter. Scatter blueberries evenly over top.
  4. Bake 18–22 minutes, until deeply golden and puffed (it will deflate slightly after removing).
  5. 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!
