Dutch Baby for One
Once my kids moved out, I struggled to switch from cooking for four to cooking for one or two. I've worked to adapt and create recipes without loads of leftovers. I have loved the simplicity of a Dutch baby for years, and this version makes a simple breakfast for one...easy! Christine Van Bloem, Create Cooking Challenge: Easy Peasy entrant, MPT viewer
Recipe Ingredients
- - 3 tablespoons flour
- - 1 teaspoon sugar
- - 1 pinch salt
- - 3 tablespoons milk
- - 1 large egg
- - 1 tablespoon butter
Recipe Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Place a 6" cast iron skillet or cake pan into the oven.
- In a small or medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt until combined.
- Add half the milk and whisk again until smooth. Add the remaining milk, then egg and whisk just until smooth.
- Add butter to the hot skillet in the oven and heat until the butter is melted (this will be quick).
- Remove the pan from the oven and pour in the batter.
- Immediately place back in the oven and cook for 12 minutes, or until golden and puffy.
- Serve immediately, and know that this will quickly deflate as it sets. Dust with a healthy amount of powdered sugar or top with berries or a fruit compote, or even smear with a bit of jam. Treat yourself!
