Dutch Baby With Banana Berry Compote Food

DUTCH BABY WITH BANANA-BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a 10-inch ovenproof skillet in the oven to heat up.
• Combine eggs, milk, flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a blender; blend until batter is very smooth.
• Remove hot skillet from the oven. Add margarine and swirl until melted. Pour batter into the hot skillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffy and golden, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss bananas, strawberries, blueberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Spoon compote onto hot pancake and top with a dollop of frozen whipped topping. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

DUTCH BABY WITH BERRY COMPOTE

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!

DUTCH BABY WITH BLUEBERRY-ORANGE COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the Dutch baby: Place an ovenproof 12-inch skillet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Blend on high to make a smooth batter. Let the batter rest while the oven heats up.
• Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the skillet and add the butter. Let the butter melt and sizzle, then pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven.
• Bake the Dutch baby until the edges are puffed and browned and the middle is set, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the blueberry-orange compote: Meanwhile, zest the orange into a small skillet; squeeze the juice from half of the orange into the skillet. Add the granulated sugar, nutmeg and blueberries. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, swirling the skillet, until the sauce is thick and syrupy and the berries are beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Keep warm.
• Serve the Dutch baby hot, topped with the compote and dusted with confectioners' sugar if desired.

DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Fifteen minutes before baking preheat the oven to 450°; have a pie plate or oven-proof skillet ready.
• Whisk together the milk, flour, eggs, sugar and vanilla; put the butter in the pie plate or skillet and place the pan in the oven just until the butter is melted; with a brush coat the rim and entire inside of the pan.
• Slowly pour batter into hot pan; bake for 20 minutes; reduce heat to 350° and bake another 8-10 minutes, until pancake is well-browned; remove from oven and sieve confectioners' sugar over the top; serve immediately with fruit spooned into the center of the pancake.
