Best Chef Johns Bacon And Asparagus Dutch Baby Recipes

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 the oven to 425˚ F. Heat the milk in the microwave or in a small saucepan until warm. Pour the warm milk into a large bowl and add the eggs, granulated sugar and salt. Whisk until well combined, then add the flour and whisk until the batter is mostly smooth (a few small lumps are OK). Let stand 5 to 10 minutes, then whisk until airy and very smooth; you should see small bubbles on the surface of the batter. (You can also puree the mixture in a blender.)
• Meanwhile, put a 10-inch ovenproof skillet in the hot oven and heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the butter to the skillet in the oven and heat until the butter melts and the bubbles subside (do not let the butter brown). Pour the batter into the skillet.
• Bake until the pancake rises in a cup shape and is browned around the edges on top and lightly browned on the bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325˚ F and continue baking until the bottom is browned and mostly dry, 5 to 10 more minutes.
• Dust the pancake with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

SAVORY DUTCH BABY FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk flour, sugar, thyme, salt, pepper, and 2 Tbsp. Parmesan in a small bowl.
• Process eggs and milk in a blender until light and frothy, about 2 minutes. Add flour mixture and pulse to combine.
• Heat a 10" cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Once hot, melt butter and swirl to coat skillet. Pour batter into hot melted butter in skillet. Transfer to oven and bake until puffed and golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
• Sprinkle Parmesan over pancake before serving with crème fraîche, smoked salmon, baby greens, and lemon wedges (if using).
• Do Ahead: Batter can be made 2 days ahead. Transfer to a medium jar and chill. Shake jar before cooking.

BACON CORNBREAD DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• For the Dutch baby: Cut the bacon slices in half and place into a cold 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place into a cold oven. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. When the oven comes up to temp, set a timer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, pepper and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Whisk in the milk, eggs, green onion and jalapeño until the batter is smooth.
• When the timer goes off, carefully remove the bacon from the pan and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan. Carefully pour the prepared batter into the pan and bake without opening the oven door, until golden brown and very puffy, 15 to 18 minutes.
• For the garnishes: While the Dutch baby cooks, melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and fry until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Reheat the bacon in the pan alongside the eggs.
• Cut the Dutch baby into four, top each piece with some bacon and an egg. Scatter with green onion, cilantro and Cheddar. Serve with hot sauce, salt and pepper.
