Description

This Hot Strawberry Jam Dutch Baby is a delightful and impressive breakfast or brunch treat featuring a puffed oven-baked pancake topped with a homemade warm strawberry jam. The recipe combines fresh strawberries cooked down with maple syrup and vanilla into a luscious jam, paired with a light and airy Dutch baby made from eggs, milk, and flour, cooked in a cast iron skillet to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Strawberry Jam

  • 6 cups fresh sliced strawberries
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dutch Baby

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, plus more for serving
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cups whole milk, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Jam: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). In a medium-sized pot over high heat, combine the sliced strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla. Bring this mixture to a boil, then use a spoon to mash the berries. Continue cooking for 5-8 minutes, until the jam reduces and thickens by about one-third. Keep the jam warm on low heat.
  2. Prepare Dutch Baby Batter: While the jam cooks, use an electric mixer to whisk together eggs, milk, flour, kosher salt, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of large flour clumps, about 1 minute.
  3. Melt Butter in Skillet: Place a 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to brown until it is toasty and a deep golden color, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Bake the Dutch Baby: Pour the prepared batter into the hot buttered skillet immediately. Transfer the skillet to the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent deflating. The Dutch baby is done when it is fully puffed and golden brown on top.
  5. Serve with Jam and Butter: Once out of the oven, top the Dutch baby with pats of butter and cover generously with the warm strawberry jam. Serve immediately, optionally adding whipped cream for extra richness and indulgence. Enjoy your delicious Hot Strawberry Jam Dutch Baby!

Notes

  • Make sure eggs and milk are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better rise.
  • Do not open the oven during baking to avoid deflating your Dutch baby.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for best results and even cooking.
  • The jam can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving.
  • Vanilla bean powder can be substituted with vanilla extract if unavailable.
  • Serve immediately for best puff and texture.
