Breakfast is often dubbed the most important meal of the day, and for a good reason. It kickstarts your metabolism, fuels your body for the day ahead, and can be a delicious way to start your morning. If you’re tired of the same old pancakes or cereal, why not elevate your breakfast game with a Lemon Curd and Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancake? This dish combines the tangy zest of lemon curd with the sweet burst of blueberries, all nestled in a fluffy, golden-brown pancake. It’s not just a breakfast; it’s an experience. Let’s dive into how to bring this delightful dish to your table.
Ingredients:
Produce:
- 2 cups Blueberries
Refrigerated:
- 3 Large Eggs
Condiments:
- 1/2 cup Lemon Curd
Baking & Spices:
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 1 tbsp Powdered/Confectioners’ Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Sugar
Dairy:
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 cup Milk
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C). This high heat is crucial for getting that beautiful puff in your Dutch baby pancake.
- Mix the Magic: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, powdered sugar, salt, granulated sugar, and milk until you achieve a smooth consistency. This batter will be the base of your pancake, promising a tender, fluffy texture.
- Butter Up: Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet or any oven-safe pan over medium heat. This step will ensure your pancake effortlessly releases from the pan and adds a subtle, nutty flavor.
- Berry Bliss: Pour the batter into the skillet, then sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the top. The berries will sink slightly into the batter, ensuring every bite has a burst of blueberry goodness.
- Oven Magic: Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. You’re looking for a puffed-up pancake with golden-brown edges – a sign of perfect doneness.
- Lemon Curd Lusciousness: After carefully removing the pancake from the oven, spread the lemon curd over the top. The warmth of the pancake will slightly melt the curd, making it even more irresistible.
- Serve and Savor: Fold the pancake in half or quarters and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness. Serve warm to ensure every bite melts in your mouth.
