Ingredients
- Eggs
- Almond flour
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Blueberries
- Lemon juice
- Lemon zest
- Butter
- Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven while preheating to ensure it gets very hot.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs until smooth and slightly frothy. Add almond flour, unsweetened almond milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is completely smooth with no lumps.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add butter to the pan, swirling to coat the entire surface and sides quickly.
- Pour the prepared batter directly into the hot buttered skillet. Immediately scatter fresh blueberries across the surface of the batter.
- Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and puffy, and the center is set.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. The Dutch baby will naturally deflate slightly as it cools.
- Optional: Dust with powdered erythritol or sprinkle additional lemon zest on top before serving.
- Slice and serve immediately while warm, garnishing with additional fresh blueberries if desired.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your skillet is scorching hot before adding the batter - this creates the signature puffy, dramatic rise.
- Whisk with Purpose: Take time to blend your batter thoroughly, eliminating any lumps for a smooth, silky texture.
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh, plump blueberries for the most intense flavor and beautiful presentation.
- Don't Open the Oven: Resist the temptation to peek while baking - maintaining consistent heat is crucial for the perfect rise.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is at its absolute best when served fresh and warm, so time your cooking carefully.
- Experiment with Toppings: While delicious as-is, try a light dusting of powdered erythritol or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra excitement.
