Ingredients

Scale

For the Dutch Baby:

  • 3 large eggs, room temp

  • 3/4 c. Whole milk, room temperature

  • 3 tbsp. butter; melted, slightly cooled, and divided

  • 1/2 c. flour

  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch

  • Pinch kosher salt

For the Spiced Pears:

  • 1 lb. ripe pears, cored and cut into 1 inch pieces

  • 2 tbsp. butter

  • 1/2 c. Sugar

  • Powdered sugar, For garnish

Instructions

  1. Place a medium cast iron skillet, in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.

  2. Blend eggs in a blender on high speed until frothy, about 1 minute. With the blender still going, gradually add in the milk and 2 tablespoons butter, blending for an additional thirty seconds.

  3. Stop the motor and add the flour, cornstarch, and salt, mixing until combine but no more (or it can get tough).

  4. Using an oven mitt, take your cast iron out of the oven and, with the egg mixture close at hand, add the remaining 1 tbsp. to the pan. Once fully melted, quickly add in the egg mixture and place back in the oven.
  5. Bake for another 20-25 minutes until it’s puffed and browned around the edges.
  6. While the egg mixture is baking, make the pear recipe. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and melt the butter until it gets foamy.
  7. Add the pears and let sit for a minute to caramelize.

  8. Over the next ten minutes, move the pears around until they soften and evenly brown.

  9. Sprinkle the sugar over the pears, stir evenly and allow the sugar to melt. Cook another few

    minutes until pears are tender.

  10. Take dutch baby out of the oven and slide onto a platter. Add pear mixture to the middle.
  11. Let cool slightly, add powdered sugar to top, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

You can omit the pear topping and add other toppings such as caramel sauce or maple syrup. You can also change out your fruit based on what is in season.
