PEACH DUTCH BABY PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Put an 8in/20cm cast iron skillet/frying pan in to heat up as the oven heats.
• Meanwhile, cut the peach into slices and toss the slices and the raspberries with the oil and balsamic vinegar in a small roasting dish. Whisk together the pancake ingredients (egg, flour, milk, maple syrup, salt and lemon zest - note NOT the butter) until smooth.
• Once the oven has reached temperature, add the butter to the pan. Put it back in the oven to melt and heat for a minute. At the same time, add the dish with the fruit to the oven.
• Once the butter has melted and starting to brown very slightly, pour the pancake batter into the middle of the pan. Immediately put the pan back in the oven and leave to bake for approx 15-18min until the pancake has puffed up and is lightly brown.
• Remove the fruit from the oven at the same time and place them over the middle of the pancake and top with the yogurt, if using. Enjoy warm.

DUTCH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Beat eggs with a wire whisk in a large bowl. Add 1 3/4 cups flour and whisk until mixture is smooth. Whisk in 1 1/4 cups milk, sugar, and oil. Batter should be the consistency of buttermilk; add additional flour or milk if needed. Let batter stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Heat a small, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon butter and melt. Add 1/4 cup pancake batter and tilt pan to coat the bottom. Cook until pancake is nearly dry on top, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until browned, about 2 minutes. Pancake may curl slightly and that is normal, but if it curls too much add more milk to remaining batter. Stack pancake on a plate and repeat to make remaining pancakes, adding remaining butter as needed.

VANILLA DUTCH BABY (PUFFED PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the butter in a large, ovenproof, nonstick saute pan and place in the oven.
• Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the eggs, flour, warm milk, sugar, vanilla extract and pinch of salt, and blend on medium-high speed until uniform. (If mixing by hand, combine the eggs with the milk until the mixture is light yellow and no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously to remove the lumps, about 30 seconds.)
• Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. The butter should be melted. Swirl the butter around the pan to coat completely, and then pour the remaining butter into the batter and pulse to blend. Pour the batter into the hot pan and return the pan to the oven. Cook until the pancake is puffed in the center and golden brown along the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Using a spatula, remove the entire Dutch baby from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow the steam to escape without condensing along the bottom and rendering the pancake soggy. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cooled slightly. Slice the pancake into 8 wedges on a serving platter or cutting board.
