Making the Dutch Baby

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of the butter into a 10 inch diameter cast iron and place the pan in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Melt the remaining butter and set aside.
  • In a blender, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt to combine. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Process on high speed until batter is smooth and bubbly, about 30 seconds.

  • Dust the hot Dutch Baby with powdered sugar and cut into wedges. Serve with compote.

Making the Compote

  • Add the strawberries and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes or until the strawberries have become tender.
  • Raise the heat and continue cooking for a minute or so until the mixture has reduced a bit.
  • The compote can be served warm or cold.
