Skillet Dutch Baby

Molly Adams’s Dutch baby for Simply Recipes combines eggs, milk and flour with butter and warm flavorings. A heated cast-iron skillet and the oven produce its high, browned rim and thinner center. Use the linked recipe for the exact batter, pan size and timing.

Our suggestion is to plan the rest of brunch around the moment it comes out of the oven. Have cups, plates and coffee ready first, then bring the skillet to the table with a trivet. The appeal is the shared presentation as much as the individual slices.

Keep accompaniments separate so the pancake stays the focus. A little powdered sugar offers a simple finish; fruit or preserves can be passed alongside. If you are serving several people, avoid covering the whole center with a heavy pile of toppings before anyone has had a chance to cut a portion.
