How to Make
To create your delicious Dutch Baby, start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, and salt until the mixture is smooth. Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish over medium heat, ensuring it coats the surface. Carefully pour the batter into the skillet over the melted butter. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are puffed and golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before topping with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
