Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced, for garnish
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan inside to heat.
  2. Blend the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth.
  3. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven, add the butter, and swirl to coat the pan.
  4. Immediately pour the batter into the hot skillet and return it to the oven.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until puffed, golden brown, and crisp around the edges.
  6. Meanwhile, gently warm the strawberry jam in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice if using.
  7. Remove the Dutch baby from the oven and spoon the warm strawberry jam over the top.
  8. Garnish with fresh strawberries, powdered sugar, and fresh mint if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while warm and puffed.

Notes

  • Substitute raspberry, blueberry, or apricot jam for a different flavor.
  • Add cinnamon or cardamom to the batter for extra warmth.
  • Top with whipped cream or vanilla yogurt for added richness.
  • Sprinkle toasted sliced almonds or chopped pistachios over the jam for extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Use room-temperature eggs and milk, and fully preheat the skillet for the best rise.
