Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 2/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon yuzu juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
For Cooking and Serving
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Fresh orange slices, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees F and place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet inside to heat up while you prepare the batter.
- Prepare the batter: In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, yuzu juice, orange zest, and orange juice. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, which should take about 20 seconds.
- Heat the butter: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the butter and swirl it around to melt and coat the bottom and sides of the skillet evenly.
- Bake the Dutch baby: Immediately pour the prepared batter into the sizzling hot skillet, then return it promptly to the oven. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed up dramatically and golden brown around the edges. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent it from collapsing.
- Finish and serve: Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven. Dust the Dutch baby generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh orange slices if desired for an extra citrusy touch.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to maximize the rise of the Dutch baby.
- If yuzu juice is unavailable, substitute with additional fresh orange juice and a splash of lemon juice for acidity.
- Serve immediately as the Dutch baby will deflate and lose its puff once it starts to cool.
