Instructions
Dutch Baby
-
Preheat your oven to 230°C (445°F) and place your cast iron pan on the middle shelf. Make sure there’s enough space above it for your Dutch Baby to expand.
-
In a stick blender jug add the eggs, flour, milk & salt. Blend until smooth and aerated. This can also be done in a stand up blender.
-
Leave the mixture to stand whilst the oven comes up to temperature. The closer the mix is to room temp, the better rise you’ll get in the finished product.
-
Grate the parmesan, chop the herbs fine and mince the garlic. Transfer to a bowl. I like to add a pinch of salt to this mixture also.
-
When you’re ready to go, remove the pan from the oven and add the butter. Let it bubble and melt down completely. Then pour your batter mix into the pan.
-
Scatter the cheese and herb mix over the top and return to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time.
To serve
-
In a bowl mix the crème fraîche, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest and salt.
-
Arrange the smoked salmon in the bottom of the Dutch Baby and spoon over the dill crème fraîche.
Notes
- I use a 25cm (10 inch) pan. Anything around that size will work
