If you’ve never had a Dutch baby, drop everything you’re doing and go make one! These fluffy, and irresistibly chewy breakfast treats should (and can be) enjoyed at any time of the day.
Without a word of a lie, I’ve made a Dutch baby after 2AM before, and there were no regrets. To spice things up (literally, I added cinnamon 😝) I tossed in some green apples that I caramelized in some brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. I needed to have my boyfriend physically remove it from my reach, in fear I’d consume the entire thing myself, and I don’t even care for apple-based desserts! Give this a try, it’s an amazing treat, breakfast idea, or snack. Anything, seriously, just find an excuse to make this and you will not regret it!
Enjoy!

Recipe Notes:
*To speed up process, microwave milk for 10 second increments and leave whole eggs in bowl with hot water for several minutes before cracking.
- To clarify butter microwave a stick of butter until melted, scoop off foam with a spoon and keep only clear liquid. Discard milky substance at bottom. Removing the milk solids from butter and “clarifying” it prevents burning and raises the smoke point.
