Bluecake Dutch Babies Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S BLUEBERRY DUTCH BABY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine flour, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk in a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and very thin, about 1 minute.
• Heat a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet over high heat. Pour clarified butter into the skillet and use a pastry brush to grease the sides. Heat butter until just starting to smoke.
• Quickly and carefully pour the batter into the center of the skillet, then sprinkle blueberries over top. Transfer skillet to the center of the preheated oven and bake until browned and nicely puffed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Carefully remove from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted butter. Squeeze lemon juice over top as Dutch baby deflates. Dust with powdered sugar.
• Cut in wedges to serve and drizzle with maple syrup.

BLUECAKE DUTCH BABIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 and put clean dutch oven or cast iron pan into the oven to preheat with the coconut oil in it. You can also use an oven-proof pie tin or Pyrex container, if you want.
• Mix flour, splenda and salt in a food processor and add the almond milk.
• Remove lid and use a rubber spatula to push all ingredients toward the mixer blade.
• Replace cover and turn on, gradually adding the egg whites and spice(s).
• Blend for a couple minutes to whip some air into the mixture.
• Open the now preheated oven and slowly pour the mixture into the hot pan with the melted oil in it.
• Cook for 25 minutes.
• Serve with whatever you want! You can eliminate the spice and splenda for a classic cake you will add the traditional greek yogurt and huckleberries, cinnamon sugar or honey to. I've enjoyed adding black beans, corn and chili powder and serving with sour cream and grated cheese.

BLUEBERRY DUTCH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Blend together eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and salt in a blender.
• Heat four 6 1/4- to 6 1/2-inch cast-iron skillets over high heat. Divide butter among them, and melt. Divide batter among them, then scatter with berries. Bake until puffed and cooked through and tops are set, 15 to 18 minutes. Top with berries, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

DUTCH BABY WITH LEMON CURD AND BLUEBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• For the Dutch baby: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat.
• Meanwhile, place the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, sugar and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Put aside.
• Once the skillet is preheated, add the butter. Once melted, add the batter to the skillet and return to the oven until puffed and lightly browned around the edges, 18 to 20 minutes.
• For the lemon curd: Simmer 1 inch of water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Combine the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice and zest in a medium metal bowl and whisk until smooth. Place the bowl on top of the saucepan (make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water) and whisk until the curd is thickened, light yellow and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. Remove the curd from the heat and use a rubber spatula to stir in the butter, one piece at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding the next. Place the curd back over the heat while stirring if the butter is not melting. Transfer to a clean container and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the curd.
• For the blueberry syrup: Add 1 cup of the blueberries and the maple syrup to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blueberries.
• Serve the Dutch baby topped with lemon curd and blueberry syrup.
