This breakfast Dutch baby pancake delivers a dramatic, puffed presentation infused with rich blackberry extract that brightens the custardy batter with a vibrant, fruity depth. You whisk eggs, milk, flour, sugar, butter, and a touch of blackberry extract into a velvety batter, pour it into a sizzling hot skillet, then bake until it inflates and golden-browned. Once out of the oven, it’s crisp at the edges and custardy in the center, bursting with berry aroma—perfect for brunch or a special breakfast.
Ingredients
-
3 large eggs
-
½ cup milk
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1–2 teaspoons blackberry extract
-
Pinch of salt
-
Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh blackberries, maple syrup, whipped cream
Directions
Preheat the oven & skillet: Set oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with butter inside to melt—this sears the base and sets up a dramatic rise.
Whisk batter smooth: In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, flour, sugar, blackberry extract, and salt until silky—this ensures even fruit flavor throughout the Dutch baby.
Pour and bake: Carefully pour batter into the hot skillet over melted butter. Bake until puffed and golden (~25 minutes). The high heat creates crispy edges and a custard-like center, infused with blackberry essence.
Serve immediately: Dust with powdered sugar, add fresh berries, syrup, or whipped cream. Enjoy while it’s still puffed and aromatic—this maximizes the blackberry extract’s aroma uplift.
Recipe Note
10 FAQ'S
How much blackberry extract should I use?
1–2 teaspoons—start small and adjust to taste or extract potency.
Can I substitute vanilla extract?
Use both! Vanilla gives depth, while blackberry extract adds unique fruity aroma.
Will it deflate quickly?
Yes—serve immediately after baking for that signature visual puff.
Can I prepare batter ahead?
Yes, whisk and refrigerate up to 12 hours; rewhisk gently before baking.
Is this gluten-free friendly?
Yes! Swap in a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend; texture remains light and puffy.
Can I use fresh blackberries instead of extract?
You can, but the extract concentrates flavor better. Finely chop berries if you do use fresh.
What if I don't have an oven-safe skillet?
Bake in a similarly sized cake pan or cast-iron pan—just adjust pour carefully.
What toppings pair well?
Fresh berries, maple syrup, whipped cream, lemon zest or honey complement the berry base.
Can I make mini Dutch babies?
Absolutely—use muffin tins for single-serve portions; bake ~15 minutes per batch.
How long does it keep?
Best fresh. Leftovers are okay reheated (~5 minutes) but won’t puff again.
