Ingredients
Butter
2 ounces (cut into pieces)
Eggs
4 (large, whole)
Milk
1 cup (whole or your choice)
Flour
1 cup (all-purpose)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Cut the butter into small pieces and place one pat in each of the two 8-inch round cake pans. Place the pans in the preheated oven to melt the butter, approximately 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
3
In a blender, combine the eggs and milk. Blend well until smooth and fully combined.
4
Gradually add the flour to the egg mixture in the blender, blending just until incorporated; do not overmix.
5
Remove the hot pans from the oven once the butter is melted. Carefully pour half of the batter into each pan, making sure the melted butter is evenly distributed.
6
Immediately return the pans to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the Dutch Babies have puffed up dramatically and are golden brown around the edges.
7
Once baked, remove from the oven and serve immediately, sprinkling with powdered sugar and squeezing fresh lemon juice over the top or drizzling with maple syrup.
