Dutch Baby Pancake from David Eyre’s recipe (as reported by Amanda on Food52)

Cheated a bit on Amanda’s recipe — no nutmeg so I did a touch of allspice and some cinnamon. Out of whole milk so I combined half & half and 1%. No confectioner’s sugar so I went with brown sugar — but still came out delicious. A touch of citrus (I used lime) really does make a difference.

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 4 tablespoons (one half stick) of unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • Juice of half a lemon
  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, and nutmeg in a bowl. Beat lightly. Leave the batter a little lumpy.
  2. Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet with a heatproof handle. When it is very hot, pour in the batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pancake is golden brown.
  3. Sprinkle with the sugar and return briefly to the oven. Sprinkle with lemon juice, and serve with jelly, jam, or marmalade.
