Recipe View 1 mins Cut in wedges to serve and drizzle with maple syrup.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the butter before clarifying it. The nutty notes will add complexity to the dish.
Room temperature ingredients are key to a smooth batter and even rise. If you forgot to take the eggs and milk out ahead of time, you can quickly warm them by placing the eggs in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes and microwaving the milk in short bursts, stirring in between, until just slightly warm.
Don't open the oven door while the Dutch baby is baking! The sudden temperature change can cause it to deflate prematurely.
Feel free to experiment with different berries or fruits! Raspberries, blackberries, or even sliced peaches would be delicious.
Make sure you have a good quality cast iron skillet.
