CHEF JOHN'S BLUEBERRY DUTCH BABY



Chef John's Blueberry Dutch Baby image

You're in for a huge treat with this blueberry studded baked pancake--it's rich and satisfying but surprisingly light tasting. The true magic of a Dutch baby is the contrast of texture between the crispy, crusty outside and the soft, custardy, fruity center. This version is not only gorgeous and delicious, but it's fun and simple to make! There's no sugar in the batter, so all the sweetness comes from the berries and the powdered sugar. For a sweeter version, serve with maple syrup like regular blueberry pancakes.

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup packed all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon fine salt
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
⅔ cup milk, at room temperature
3 tablespoons clarified butter, melted
⅓ cup fresh blueberries, or more to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
½ Meyer lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons powdered sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk in a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and very thin, about 1 minute.
  • Heat a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat. Pour clarified butter into the skillet and use a pastry brush to grease the sides. Heat butter until just starting to smoke.
  • Quickly and carefully pour the batter into the center of the skillet, then sprinkle blueberries over top. Transfer skillet to the center of the preheated oven and bake until browned and nicely puffed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Carefully remove from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted butter. Squeeze lemon juice over top as Dutch baby deflates. Dust with powdered sugar.
  • Cut in wedges to serve and drizzle with maple syrup.

DUTCH BABY WITH BERRY COMPOTE

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 pint raspberries
1/2 pint blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
6 to 7 strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon cold for the pans
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
Pinch salt
Whipped cream, for serving
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, sliced into thin ribbons, for serving
1 tablespoon shaved bittersweet chocolate, for serving

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!

BLUEBERRY DUTCH PANCAKES

To make four individual pancakes, you will need four little cast-iron skillets, 6 1/4 inches to 6 1/2 inches in diameter. You can use one 12-inch cast-iron skillet instead; it will take about 20 minutes to bake.

Puffy, crisp and high sides with a tender bottom. The low fat content of the milk and the cornstarch replacing some of the flour in other recipes insure the puffy crispy sides.
