This simple breakfast recipe is quick and easy yet tastes gourmet - my favorite kind of recipe!  A dutch baby, or German pancake, is a bit of a blend between pancakes and crepes, and like both of those delicious dishes, doesn’t disappoint, offering a myriad of sweet and savory taste combinations - apple and cinnamon, peaches broiled in honey,  pear & thyme, or lemon, lavender and blackberry, to name just a few.  So for breakfast this week (or for dessert, because yes, I eat cake for breakfast so why not pancakes for dessert?) might I suggest filling your kitchen with the relaxing fresh scents of lemon, lavender and pancakes to help start the morning off right?

Equipment

Ingredients

Pancake Batter

  • 3 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 eggs, room temp
  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, room temp
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour plus 2 Tablesoppons
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • blackberries (optional)

Lavender Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon lavender infused simple syrup (or Monin’s Lavender Syrup)

Instructions

  • Preheat the iron cast skillet in an oven set at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.
  • While it’s heating, in a blender, food processor or NutriBullet, combine the eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, heavy whipping cream, salt, and 1 Tablespoon of butter, blending for ~ 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides to ensure ingredients are well incorporated.
Blackberry, lemon, and egg ingredients
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, and pour the remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter into the pan, swirling to cover the pan’s bottom and sides (watch out for butter splatter!)
  • Gently pour your batter directly into the center of the skillet, and then return the skillet to the oven.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes (it will puff in the oven before deflating slightly).

  • Top with powdered sugar, fruit, syrup or icing.  For this bake, I added blackberries, powdered sugar and lavender icing.
