Dutch Baby
A Dutch Baby is perfect for brunches because it comes together faster than a pancake mix — and it’s far more elegant. All you have to do is whisk together a handful of ingredients, dump in the raspberries and blackberries, pour it all in a hot, buttered skillet, and slide it in the oven. Minutes later, you’ve got a giant, fluffy, golden Dutch Baby.
We love the texture of a Dutch Baby: it’s as light as a crêpe and has the soft, custardy interior of a popover. Here, the berries add some color and a sweet-tart foil for the egginess. The whole thing is a marvelous vehicle for powdered sugar.
Dutch Babies are a lovely morning treat. Because they come together so quickly, and they taste best hot, you’ll want to have the bacon, coffee, and mimosas ready to go — and everyone at the table — when they roll out of the oven.
Tip: We like this Dutch Baby for dessert too. A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream melting over the bright berries and warm pastry is nothing short of scrumptious.

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°.
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, sugar, and salt until combined.
- Add the flour and milk and whisk until smooth.
- Add 1 cup each of the raspberries and blackberries.
- Melt the butter in the skillet and add the batter, spreading the fruit evenly.
- Bake in the center of the oven for about 22 minutes, until the edges are browned and puffed and the center is lightly browned in spots.
