Ingredients
Dutch Baby
- 3 eggs (at room temperature)
- 180 ml whole milk
- 75 g plain flour
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- sea salt
- black pepper (coarsely ground)
- 40 g butter (unsalted)
Topping
- 150 g smoked salmon
- 50 g crème fraîche
- 2 spring onions (in thin rings)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp dill (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp chives (finely chopped)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius (top and bottom heat). Place a cast-iron frying pan or ovenproof pan in the center of the oven and let it heat thoroughly for at least 25 minutes. Meanwhile, melt 40 g butter. Divide this into 30 g for the batter and 10 g for greasing the pan. Slice 2 spring onions into rings and finely chop the 1 tbsp dill and 2 tbsp chives.
Cooking
- Put the 3 eggs in a blender and mix for about 1 minute until frothy. Gradually add 180 ml whole milk and the 30 g of melted butter while the blender is running. Then add 75 g plain flour, 2 tbsp cornflour, sea salt, and black pepper to taste and mix briefly until smooth. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Pour the remaining 10 g of butter into the pan and tilt so that the butter covers the bottom and sides. Immediately pour the batter into the pan and return it to the oven. Bake the Dutch Baby for 20 to 25 minutes until it has risen well and the edges are golden brown. Do not open the oven in the meantime.
To serve
- Remove the Dutch Baby from the oven immediately. Let it deflate for a minute if necessary. Spread 150 g smoked salmon slices over it, spoon 50 g crème fraîche in dollops onto the pancake, and garnish with spring onion, 1 tsp lemon zest, dill, and chives. Serve immediately.
Notes
This Dutch Baby is the perfect base for various savory combinations. Smoked salmon with crème fraîche and spring onions is a classic, but you can also vary it with avocado, a poached egg, or capers. For extra freshness, a little lemon zest or juice works excellently. Feel free to add fresh herbs such as chives or dill. Serve optionally with a green salad for a complete meal.
