Ingredients
Scale
Lemon Curd
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter
Batter
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- 1 cup fresh or frozen organ blueberries
- Powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
Lemon Curd
- Add lemon zest, juice, sugar, and eggs to a double boiler. Whisk until blended. Add butter to the ingredients and set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisking continuously. The double boiler provides precise temperature control, so the mixture stays smooth while it thickens for about 20 minutes.
Batter
- Combine in a large bowl flour, sugar, and salt. In a measuring cup, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. Gently whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until everything is thoroughly blended. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450° about 20 minutes before the end of resting time. Put a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven when very hot to preheat for 10 minutes.
- Remove the hot skillet and work quickly. Pour in melted butter and cover the spattering skillet while swirling the butter to coat the pan.
- Whisk the batter one more time before pouring it into the skillet.
- Scatter blueberries over the top and place the pan in the oven.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until the Dutch baby is puffed up and golden brown around the edges and set in the center.
- Dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve each slice of Dutch baby with a dollop of lemon curd.
Notes
When the hot skillet comes out of the oven, move quickly to complete the next steps while the pan stays hot.
