Dutch Baby with Assorted Berries
A Dutch Baby is a sort of thick pancake made with eggs, flour and milk and baked in a shallow baking dish. It will rise around the edges and look impressive when first pulled out of the oven. It is super easy, feels fancy, and can be savory or sweet. This one is served with assorted berries.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 4 large eggs
- ⅔ cup whole milk
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
- pinch of nutmeg
- assorted berries
- powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Put the butter in a shallow round dish, like a pie dish. Put the dish in the oven until it melts but doesn’t burn, about 5-7 minutes. Keep a close eye on it. Remove from the oven.
- In the meantime, whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk. Add the flour, sugar, and nutmeg. Stir to combine, breaking up any large lumps, but don’t worry about making the batter completely smooth.
- Pour the batter into the pie dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until it turns golden brown on the edges.
- Serve with assorted berries and powdered sugar.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For best results, use room temperature eggs and slightly warm the milk before combining the ingredients. This allows for a better rise.
- Rises, then Falls Quickly: The Dutch Baby rises around the edges of the pie dish, but falls quickly once you take it out of the oven. It's most impressive right when you take it out, so make sure anyone who wants to see gets a quick glimpse as you bring it over to the table.
- Adding Berries: You can add some of the berries directly on top after removing it from the oven. This warms the berries through and makes them extra sweet.
- Cast Iron Pan: For the best rise, use a cast iron pan. However, there are plenty of other dishes that you can use with good results if you do not have a cast iron pan. For more about what dishes are best to use for a Dutch Baby, see my post, Dutch Baby Pancake Without a Cast Iron Skillet.
- How to Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
