I made a Dutch baby before, and recently I decided to try a different recipe because I wasn’t sure if I still liked my old one. This isn’t that different, but seemed to make a much fluffier, custardy, and yummier oven pancake. I especially liked it with some simmered strawberries.
Simmered strawberries are great, especially if your strawberries have sat in the fridge a little too long. Sometimes they are a little too soft to enjoy fresh, but they are perfect for a topping like this. They are usually extra sweet and juicy, which is ideal for simmering. I didn’t take too many pictures since the process for making these is almost identical to the other recipe I posted, but I highly recommend them.
Directions for Dutch Baby with a Strawberry Topping
Adapted from The Faux Martha (who also adapted it some from Joy the Baker)
Dutch Baby
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup flour
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, cleaned, hulled, and sliced
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar and strawberries and bring to a simmer. The strawberries will break down a bit and the mixture will get a bit jelly-like. Set it aside to cool a bit while you wait for the Dutch baby, then serve on sliced wedges.
