DUTCH BABY WITH CRANBERRY-ORANGE COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the compote: In a heavy saucepot, add half of the cranberries and the honey. Cook over medium-low heat until the cranberries have broken down, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and the remaining cranberries; cook for another 2 minutes. Off the heat, fold in the orange segments. Let cool. Serve at room temperature.
• For the Dutch baby: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, flour, shortening, sugar and salt. Whisk until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth and creamy.
• Place an 8-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven for 8 minutes to get hot. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add 1 tablespoon of the butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly. Pour one-quarter of the batter into the hot pan and return to the oven. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with a 1/4 cup of the compote, and dust with powdered sugar. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter.

Steps:

• For the berry compote: Combine the raspberries, blueberries, sugar, cinnamon stick, lemon zest and juice and a splash of water to a small pot. Turn the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the mixture has thickened and the berries have burst, about 7 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and keep the compote warm.
• For the strawberry topping: Meanwhile, toss together the strawberries, sugar and orange zest in a small bowl. Allow the berries to sit and release their juices and for the sugar to dissolve.
• For the Dutch babies: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 2 cast-iron pans in the oven while preheating, about 20 minutes.
• Add the flour, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs and salt to a large bowl. Whisk to combine; the batter should be smooth but small lumps are OK.
• Remove the pans from the oven. Divide the remaining cold butter between the pans and let it melt to coat. Add half the batter (about 1/2 cup) to each pan and place immediately in the oven. Cook until golden brown on the sides and puffed, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Serve the Dutch babies right out of the cast-iron pans topped with compote, strawberries, whipped cream, mint and chocolate shavings. YUM!
