Who knew? That with a few eggs, a little flour and milk and a dash of vanilla blended until smooth, followed by a roast in the cast iron would become a heavenly cloud of wonder in your mouth?

This, my friends, is called a 'Dutch Baby.' It is everything you could ever want in a pastry and the best part is..it takes 30 minutes to make!!

Perhaps the easiest (and tastiest) thing you can do with a cast iron

3 room temperature eggs (crack into blender)

2/3 c. room temperature milk (pour into blender)

A dash of Vanilla Extract

A pinch of Salt

1/2 c. flour

Blend until smooth.

Meanwhile, heat your skillet until very hot. Pour about 3 tbls of melted butter (clarified butter would be preffered to prevent splattering!!)

Immediatly after pouring in butter, add the batter, pouring into the middle of the skillet.

Pop the skillet into a preheated oven (425 degrees F) for 30 minutes

It's worth the wait...trust me
