Almond Honey Dutch Baby
The Dutch Baby services as a perfect canvas for all seasonal fruit. This winter, try it with citrus, spring calls for strawberries, summer pairs well with bourbon caramelized nectarines, and apples are perfect for fall.
Ingredients:
5 large eggs
1 1/4 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup honey
½ cup almond meal
1 cup white whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Put the butter in a 12-inch cast iron pan and place in preheated oven.
Place remaining ingredients in a blender* and give it a whirl until mixed.
Once the butter has completely melted, remove the pan from oven and pour the batter over the butter. Return to the oven for 20 minutes or until the Dutch Baby is golden brown and slightly puffy around the edges.
Serve immediately and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
*If you don’t have a blender, you can whisk all the ingredients in a bowl.
