What it do Dutch Babyyyy

I’ll tell you what it do— it do be delicious and SUPER easy! Katie Holmes, our resident celebrity doppelgänger and breakfast aficionado has supplied the recipe for today’s class at Quarantine University’s School of Culinary Arts. You can also catch some of the behind the scenes footage on QU Vlog 3 premiering soon! Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup sifted all purpose flour
2 pinches of salt **(does anyone actually know what a standardized pinch is? I feel like this is an inappropriate baking term for something that is supposed to be an exact science so please leave a comment or email karina@quarantineu.com if you have any insights on this)
4 tablespoons butter
Confectioner’s sugar for dusting (again, not going to limit you here, dust to your heart’s content)

Instructions:

Place either 2 10” cast iron skillets or a glass baking pans in the oven and preheat to 475 F.
Beat your eggs in a bowl until they are light and fluffy and stir in the milk.
Gradually whisk in the flour and salt (although I don’t know how gradually one can add a singular pinch of salt… but hey, Katie’s rules not mine).
Take your pan or skillet out of the oven and reduce the temperature to 425 F. Throw your butter into the skillet on a heat-proof surface until it is melted. This part smells stupid good and the dutch baby isn’t even made yet.
Pour all of your batter into your pan/skillet (we used baking pans) and bake until puffed and light golden brown. This should take about 12 minutes. Remove and dust that baby with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh fruit of your choosing. **We opted for Strawberries cut up by culinary master Christian Østberg who used this time as his meditation for the day. Multitasking for the win!

This whole process should take you only about 20 minutes and its super easy! It theoretically serves 4 but depending on your quarantine appetite this is up to interpretation. Try it with some maple syrup if you’re up in the North Country like us and want to add a lil’ something sweet. Let us know what you think!
