Meyer Lemon Dutch Baby Pancake
A golden, puffed up Dutch Baby Pancake with Meyer lemon and powdered sugar. Beautiful to serve for guests. Dutch Baby batter recipe adapted from [Simply Recipes|http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/dutch_baby/].
Yields: Serves 2-3
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg white
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon Meyer lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- powdered sugar and Meyer lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place 2 tablespoons of butter into a 10-12 inch cast iron skillet and place it into the oven for 8 minutes, allowing the butter to melt and the pan to preheat.
Meanwhile, melt the other 1 tablespoon of butter. To a blender, add the 1 tablespoon melted butter, eggs, egg white, milk, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, flour, and salt. Whirl until mixture becomes a smooth batter, about 30 seconds.
When the cast iron skillet is preheated and the butter is melted, carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and pour in the pancake batter. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until puffed up and golden. Remove the pan from the oven, and working quickly (as the pancake rapidly deflates) top with powdered sugar a generous squeeze of lemon, slice and serve with more powdered sugar and lemon wedges on the side.
