CHEF JOHN'S DUTCH BABIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Blend milk, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt together in a blender until batter is smooth.
• Melt clarified butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat until bubbling; pour batter into the center of the skillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Brush with 1 tablespoon butter, drizzle lemon juice over the top, and dust with confectioners' sugar.

VANILLA DUTCH BABY (PUFFED PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the butter in a large, ovenproof, nonstick saute pan and place in the oven.
• Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the eggs, flour, warm milk, sugar, vanilla extract and pinch of salt, and blend on medium-high speed until uniform. (If mixing by hand, combine the eggs with the milk until the mixture is light yellow and no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously to remove the lumps, about 30 seconds.)
• Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. The butter should be melted. Swirl the butter around the pan to coat completely, and then pour the remaining butter into the batter and pulse to blend. Pour the batter into the hot pan and return the pan to the oven. Cook until the pancake is puffed in the center and golden brown along the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom and rendering the pancake soggy. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cooled slightly. Slice the pancake into 8 wedges on a serving platter or cutting board.

DUTCH BABY PANCAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Place butter in 10- to 12-inch ovenproof skillet; place in oven to melt.
• In small bowl, beat eggs, milk, lemon peel and almond extract with whisk. Add flour; mix until batter is smooth. Pour into hot skillet.
• Bake 20 minutes or until pancake is puffed and brown.
• Squeeze juice from quartered lemon over top of pancake; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

CLASSIC DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F, with a medium cast-iron skillet (10 inches, measured across top) inside on the center rack. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
• Purée eggs in a blender until pale and frothy, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture, milk, and vanilla. Purée until smooth, about 30 seconds (the batter will be thin). Add butter to skillet in oven. When it melts and sizzles, pull out the rack and quickly pour batter into center of skillet.
• Bake until pancake is puffed, golden brown in places, and crisp along the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve immediately with yogurt, fruit, and syrup.

DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Put a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe nonstick pan into the oven and heat for at least 5 minutes.
• In a blender, combine the eggs, flour, milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, the salt, and vanilla. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender jar as necessary, about 30 seconds.
• Open the oven door and drop the butter into the preheated skillet. Close the oven and allow the butter to melt, about 2 minutes (do not let it burn). Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it's hot. Pour the batter into the buttered skillet and carefully place the skillet back into the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, until puffed and golden. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (again, place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it's hot). Dust with confectioners' sugar and top with berries, if desired, then cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup.

DUTCH BABY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• Add butter to 9-inch pie plate; heat in oven until melted. Tilt pie plate to evenly coat bottom and side with butter. Beat flour, salt, milk and eggs with whisk until blended; pour into pie plate. Place on lowest oven rack.
• Bake 18 min. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake an additional 10 min. or until golden brown. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and marshmallow cream with mixer until blended.
• Fill pancake with fruit; top with cream cheese mixture.

DUTCH BABY PANCAKE WITH DRUNKEN CHERRIES

Steps:

• Tip the flour into a large bowl, make a well in the centre, crack in the eggs, then add the milk and vanilla. Use a large whisk to beat the eggs into the milk, slowly incorporating the flour, until you have a smooth batter. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Pour the oil into an ovenproof skillet pan, frying pan or tart Tatin tin (mine was 20cm in diameter) and place on the middle shelf to heat up - remove the top shelf, if you can, as the pancake will puff up as it cooks.
• Tip the cherries, sugar and brandy into a frying pan with 2 tbsp of the syrup. Bring to a simmer, then bubble until the liquid is syrupy, adding a splash more cherry syrup if the cherries look dry. Set aside to cool a little.
• When the pan is red hot, pull out the oven tray and pour in the batter - it should sizzle as it hits the pan. Quickly close the oven and leave undisturbed to cook for 20-25 mins until it looks like a giant Yorkshire pudding and is deep golden brown. Don't be tempted to open the door too early as it will sink. Serve the pancake in the pan, topped with ice cream and syrupy cherries.

DUTCH BABY PANCAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Put 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and heat the skillet in the oven for 10 minutes. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and set aside to cool slightly.
• Pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, and blend the batter until smooth and frothy, 30 to 45 seconds.
• Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and immediately pour the batter into the center. Bake for 20 minutes; do not open the oven while baking. The Dutch baby will puff up in the center and the edges will be dark and crispy.
• Serve warm with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and lemon wedges for squeezing.

GIANT DUTCH BABY PANCAKE WITH RASPBERRIES AND NUTELLA SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a blender canister, combine the eggs, sugar, flour, milk, vanilla and almond extracts and salt. Blend on low speed for about 30-45 seconds, stopping to scrape the sides and bottom of the blender at least once, until very smooth. Place a metal 9by-13-inch baking dish in the oven and let preheat for 20 minutes, while the batter rests.
• Wearing oven mitts, very carefully remove the hot baking pan from the oven. Add the butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the tin. Immediately pour in the batter and sprinkle all over with 1 cup of raspberries (reserve the remainder for later). Bake for 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden.
• For the cocoa sugar: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Place in a sifter, set over an empty bowl. Set aside.
• For the Nutella syrup: Place the milk and Nutella in a small bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds until warm. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
• As soon as the dutch baby pancake is ready, remove from the oven. Quickly dust with the cocoa sugar, top with the remaining raspberries and drizzle with the Nutella syrup. Serve immediately with more Nutella syrup on the side.
