Dutch Baby Pancake With Pear Caramel Sauce Food

DUTCH BABY PANCAKE WITH PEAR-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Place 2 Tbsp of the butter in a 9 or 10" cast iron skillet. Place skillet in the overn to 425*F/
• Combine eggs, milk and vanilla in a medium bowl. Whisk in flour, 1 Tbsp of the sugar, and the slat until smooth. Remove hot skillet from oven; swirl butter to coat. Pour batter into skillet. Return skillet to oven. Bake about 15 minutes or until pancake is brown and puffed.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium. Stir in the remaining 2 Tbsp sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add pears; cook about 3 minutes or until crisp-tender, gently stirring occasionally.

GERMAN PEAR PANCAKE

Steps:

• Toss pear slices with 1/4 cup white sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to coat.
• Arrange butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and place on the center rack of the oven. Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove skillet from oven once the butter has just melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy; add milk, 1/4 cup white sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and mix until just combined. Sift flour into egg mixture and stir until batter is just mixed.
• Stir pear slices into the melted butter and spread into a single layer. Pour batter over pears.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pancake is set in the middle, the sides have risen, and the bottom is browned, 28 to 30 minutes. Top pancake with confectioners' sugar.

DUTCH BABY POOFED PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 and put a cast iron skillet inside to get hot.
• Whisk or beat eggs.
• Add milk and oil and whisk again.
• Add flour and salt and whisk very well.
• Remove skillet from oven, melt butter and swirl to coat entire surface [wiping sides with a paper towel dipped in the butter].
• Pour in batter all at once.
• Return to oven and bake for 18-20 minutes - it's better not to be too golden brown on the underside - and may take a few (delicious) tries to figure what degree of doneness YOU like best with your oven and pan.
• Remove and serve at once garnished with slim lemon wedges and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar.
• I would think you could use a souffle or casserole dish but haven't tried it myself.

CARAMEL-APPLE DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Prepare the Dutch baby: Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the butter into a medium (10-inch) ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron) and transfer to the oven until melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Pour the batter into the hot skillet and transfer to the oven. Bake until the pancake puffs up around the edges and turns golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the Dutch baby cooks, prepare the topping: Melt the 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat, then stir in the cream and brown sugar. Add the apples and cook, stirring frequently, until the caramel thickens and the apples are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
• To serve, pile the apples on top of the warm Dutch baby, then slice and serve. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
