Quick Dutch Baby … with Blueberries!
Baking one big pancake in a skillet rather than standing at the stove flipping them one by one is like hitting the pancake jackpot. Enter: the Dutch Baby. It’s so fast and easy to make and you don’t have to stand at the stove and flip pancakes. Big bonus. The batter comes together in one bowl with a whisk, and it’s poured over melted butter and blueberries in a skillet, and baked. The berries are juicy and abundant and just burst in your mouth with every bite. It’s amazing that this recipe uses just two eggs and one-half cup of flour, and that it produces this big pancake that feeds a family, with leftovers. It’s value-based eating at its finest. Lots of bang for your buck both in terms of keeping costs and calories lower. While it bakes, it puffs up and is pretty impressive looking immediately coming out of the oven, making you look like a seriously talented chef. It falls as it cools, but there’s a nice puffy wow factor right out of the oven. Ironically, there’s no baking soda or powder used. Almost magical puffing thanks to just two eggs. The Dutch baby is lightly sweetened and satisfying both as a breakfast option or for brinner. Breakfast-for-dinner when you realize you’ve got 20 minutes to get something on the table and haven’t started anything and your fridge is sparse. If you’ve got 2 eggs and a little flour, you’re in business. Blueberries can do no wrong.

Tips for Making a Dutch Baby Pancake with Blueberries
You can skip the blueberries and keep this Dutch pancake plain, or try another favorite fruit. I can’t get enough blueberries lately, as evidenced by the best muffins, coffee cake, pancake-cake, and loved them in the Dutch baby. You’re welcome to use any kind of milk you’d like in this Dutch baby pancake recipe. If using a non-dairy milk, make sure it’s unsweetened. Lastly, be sure to keep a watchful eye on your Dutch baby because it’s baking in quite a hot oven and can burn easily.
