Ingredients
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. While preparing the filling, place a cast-iron skillet or oven-proof pan in the oven to warm.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until very bubbly. Add the milk, flour, ricotta, sugar, salt, and vanilla and whisk vigorously until combined with no lumps. This will take up to 5 minutes to achieve a completely smooth batter. Optionally, you can use a blender to combine ingredients, then let the blended mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb.
  3. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and place butter into the skillet. The butter should immediately melt. Tilt pan to coat with butter.
  4. Working quickly as to not let the butter burn, pour the batter into the hot skillet. Return to the oven and bake, without opening the oven door, for 20 minutes. The Dutch baby will puff up considerably.
  5. Carefully remove the Dutch baby from the oven and garnish with desired toppings. Once exposed to cooler air, it will start to deflate, so serve immediately.
