Dairy Free Classic Dutch Baby

A blender batter of eggs, flour, a touch of sugar, and vanilla comes together in seconds, then gets poured into a screaming-hot skillet where it puffs into those signature dramatic, golden-brown walls. The center bakes up custardy and set while the edges turn crisp and deeply caramelized, straight out of the oven. A snowy dusting of powdered sugar and a good squeeze of fresh lemon at the table cut through the richness and brighten every bite. It's the kind of showstopper that looks like way more effort than it is, best served immediately while it's still puffed and steaming. This one's a great fit for a dairy free breakfast or brunch spread, no special equipment beyond a good skillet and a blender required.

Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp fine salt
3 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For serving

2 tbsp powdered sugar, for serving
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Instructions

1
Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet on the center rack of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Let the skillet heat in the oven for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the batter.
2
Combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender. Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until completely smooth and slightly frothy. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 5 minutes while the oven finishes preheating.
