Smoked Salmon Dutch Baby

• timp total: 17 minutes

Ingrediente

If you've never heard of a Dutch Baby before, it’s like a cross between a pancake and a Yorkshire pudding. They're more eggy than a Yorkshire and are originally made to be sweet, filled with fruit, cream or whatever you want.

But they're also not Dutch! They are based on the crepe-like German pancake called pfannkuchen. Named by a mispronunciation of "Deutsch" (meaning German) as "Dutch".

1/4 of this recipe was perfect for breakfast/brunch for me. It's actually quite light and will leave room for Christmas Day chocolates and dinner later on.

Recipe

4 eggs

180g milk

90g plain flour

1/4 tsp salt

80g butter

20g parmesan cheese

15g fresh parsley, dill & tarragon

1 garlic clove

Instrucțiuni

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.

200g smoked salmon

Arrange the smoked salmon in the bottom of the Dutch Baby and spoon over the dill crème fraîche.
