Smoked Salmon Dutch Baby recipe by Cherrypick

A Dutch baby is like a giant Yorkshire pudding, often sweet, but here deliciously savoury. It’s a great base for all sorts of leftovers so go ahead and top with whatever needs to be eaten!

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220C/200C Fan.

Step 2

Locate a large ~ 25cm ovenproof frying pan, ideally a cast-iron skillet or shallow cast-iron casserole pot. If you don't have either of these then a heavy ~ 20cm x 30xm baking dish or roasting tin would also work. Place in your oven on the middle shelf to heat up, making sure that there isn’t another shelf above that is too close as the Dutch baby needs room to rise!

Step 3

Beat the eggs in a large bowl or jug with a whisk. Add in the spelt flour, mustard powder and ½ tsp salt and whisk until smooth. Pour in the milk and two thirds of the chives and mix well. Season with black pepper.

Step 4

Once the pan is really hot (this is essential), carefully remove from the oven and add the butter. Swirl it around, making sure the base and sides are coated in a layer. Immediately pour in the batter and return to the oven. Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edge is deep golden and the middle is yellow golden.

Step 5

Once ready, remove from the oven and garnish whilst still in the pan. Swirl the crème fraiche around the centre, then top with the smoked salmon, remaining chives and dill. Serve immediately, dividing into portions at the table, together with a wedge of lemon and some rocket.
