How to do it

  1. PREHEAT the oven to 425°F.
  2. HEAT a 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Add butter, and when melted, add the apple wedges. Cook until softened and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in honey and cinnamon. Remove from heat, transfer the apples with the sauce into a separate dish and wipe skillet clean.
  3. ADD to a blender or food processor, the Vava Vanilla Dilettoso mix, milk, and blend until combined. Scrape down the sides, and blend for 10 more seconds, until there are no more lumps and the batter is frothy.
  4. LET the batter stand in the blender for 10 minutes to give the flour time to absorb the liquids.
  5. DROP the butter into the skillet and place the skillet in the oven until the butter has melted, 2-3 minutes.
  6. REMOVE the skillet from the oven, pour the batter straight into the skillet without stirring, and place into the oven. (It’s normal for the excess butter from the pan to pool on top of the pancake batter).
  7. BAKE for about 15 minutes, until the Dutch baby is puffed and turning dark golden brown on the ridges.
  8. REMOVE from the oven, add the apple wedges and bake for 5 additional minutes.
  9. DUST with confectioners’ sugar, add some fresh blueberries and whipped cream if desired.
  10. Enjoy while still warm!

Did you know?

While these pancakes are derived from the German pancake dish, it is said that the name Dutch baby was coined by one of Victor Manca's daughters, where "Dutch" perhaps was her corruption of the German autonym deutsch. Manca's Cafe claimed that it owned the trademark for Dutch babies in 1942.
