Ingredients
Scale
Mini Dutch Baby Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
- 4 eggs (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
Blueberry Lemon Compote:
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2–4 tablespoons pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Optional Add-Ons:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Extra lemon zest (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a muffin tin or mini cast-iron skillets inside to heat.
- In a blender, combine flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Remove the hot tin/skillets from the oven. Add a small dab of butter into each well or skillet and swirl to coat.
- Pour batter evenly into the wells or skillets. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- While pancakes bake, make the compote: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until berries burst and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove pancakes from oven. Serve immediately with warm blueberry lemon compote.
- Dust with powdered sugar and extra lemon zest before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and milk to help the batter rise properly.
- Serve pancakes immediately out of the oven to enjoy their signature puff.
- The compote can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
