Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk (dairy or nondairy)
- 1 cup (120 grams) oat flour (use gluten-free oat flour if necessary)
- 8–10 fresh figs
Fat Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 dash salt
- Optional: toppings of choice
Instructions
- Calibrate the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, positioning a large cast iron skillet inside to allow the unsalted butter to melt and develop a subtle golden hue.
- Prepare the figs by carefully slicing each one lengthwise into delicate 3-4 sections, creating elegant segments for later placement.
- Craft a silky batter by vigorously whisking eggs, milk, oat flour, vanilla extract, and a subtle pinch of salt until the mixture achieves a completely smooth consistency.
- Once the oven reaches optimal temperature and the butter has transformed into a rich, slightly browned liquid, cautiously extract the skillet and immediately pour the prepared batter directly over the melted butter.
- Artfully distribute the pre-sliced fig segments across the surface of the batter, ensuring an even and aesthetically pleasing arrangement.
- Return the skillet to the oven, allowing the Dutch baby to bake for approximately 28 minutes until the edges develop a gorgeous golden-brown coloration and the center rises with a dramatic, puffy texture.
Notes
- Elevate your breakfast game with this stunning fig-infused Dutch baby that transforms simple ingredients into a restaurant-worthy masterpiece.
- Cast iron skillets are crucial for achieving that perfect crispy, golden-brown exterior with a tender, custardy center.
- Fresh, ripe figs are the star ingredient, so select plump, deeply colored fruits with minimal blemishes for maximum flavor intensity.
- Browning butter before adding batter creates a nutty, rich undertone that complements the sweet, delicate figs beautifully.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the dramatic puffed texture and optimal temperature, as the Dutch baby will naturally deflate within minutes of removing from the oven.
- Optional toppings like powdered sugar, honey, or a dollop of mascarpone can enhance the dish’s luxurious appeal and add complementary flavor dimensions.
