Ingredients
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
pinch Pinch of salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup raspberries
3/4 cup blackberries
Toasted sliced almonds, for serving
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or similar oven-safe skillet in the oven while it preheats.
In a blender, combine the flour, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, and salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed.
Once the oven and skillet are preheated, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add the unsalted butter and immediately pour the batter into the center of the skillet, tilting to coat evenly.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, until the pancake puffs up dramatically at the edges and turns golden brown. The center should be set but still slightly tender.
Remove the pancake from the oven. Working quickly while it is still hot, scatter the raspberries and blackberries evenly over the surface.
Dust generously with confectioners' sugar and sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds. Serve immediately, while the pancake is still warm and puffed.
Comments
All ingredients are stocked at every major Charlotte grocer—flour, milk, eggs, butter, and sugar are pantry staples, while fresh raspberries and blackberries appear year-round at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart, though they'll cost $4–6 per container. The recipe is honest about time; a Dutch baby pancake takes roughly 30 minutes start to finish including oven time, and there's minimal active work. It feeds six people as a weekend brunch, reheats poorly (the puffed texture collapses), so it's best eaten the morning it's made. Cost per serving lands around $1.50–2.00 driven by the berries and almonds, making it economical for a group meal but not a bargain.
