Cranberry Dutch Baby image

If a crepe and a pancake had a baby, it'd be the Dutch baby, boasting crisp, chewy edges surrounding a custardy middle. Here we dress it up for the holidays by baking a homemade cranberry sauce into the batter and mixing Chinese five-spice into the butter that goes on top. And that, my friends, is how you do brunch in a time crunch!

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup salted butter (such as Kerrygold®)
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
½ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 cup white sugar
1 cup orange juice
1 cinnamon stick
½ cup whole milk
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup, or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix butter, sugar, and five-spice together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until firm but spreadable.
  • Combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until berries burst and sauce has reduced, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat up.
  • Remove cranberry sauce from heat, discard cinnamon stick, and let cool.
  • For the batter, combine milk, flour, eggs, sugar, salt, and almond extract in a blender. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.
  • Carefully remove the piping-hot cast iron pan from the oven. Immediately drop in unsalted butter. Dollop 1/4 cup cranberry sauce over the bottom and pour batter on top; do not stir.
  • Return to the oven and bake until center is puffed and edges are dark and crispy, about 20 minutes. Do not open the oven door.
  • Remove Dutch baby from the oven. Add a dollop or two of five-spice butter and drizzle maple syrup on top.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Dutch baby didn't rise very much. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as fluffy as I was hoping for.
