Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • blender
  • Cast iron skillet of glass baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup starter
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 5 Tbsp butter

Instructions
 

  • The night before wanting to make the dutch baby, simply mix together 1 cup of all purpose flour and 1 cup of potato flake sourdough starter. Cover with plastic wrap and leave on the counter until morning.
  • The next morning, preheat your oven to 425°F If you take a look at your flour and starter that you mixed the night before, it should have little bubbles on the top and throughout the batter.
  • Place the 5 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan and melt it in the preheated oven. Keep a watch to make sure the butter doesn't burn. While you wait on it to melt and for the oven to preheat, finish mixing the batter.
  • In a blender, combine the flour/starter mixture, eggs, milk, vanilla, maple syrup or honey, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined. This can be done with a whisk or with a hand beater, but a blender is so much easier and quicker. You want to have a very smooth batter.
  • Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, carefully pour the batter into the skillet.
  • Immediately return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Dutch baby is puffed up and golden brown. Do not open the oven before the dutch baby has been cooking for at least 15 minutes. If you do, your dutch baby will likely deflate.
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately, either as is or with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
