How to cook deliciously - Dutch Baby
1. Stage
Position rack to middle of your oven, leaving the area above it open. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Stage
Combine milk, flour, eggs, corn starch, salt, and sugar in a blender. Blend on high for 1 minute, until all ingredients are incorporated and mixture is slightly foamy.
3. Stage
Place a 12" oven-safe cast iron skillet in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Carefully remove, place on stovetop, and add vegetable oil and butter. Swirl the pan to melt the butter, then use a brush to coat the sides of pan with butter and oil mixture.
4. Stage
Slowly pour batter into center of skillet and bake until pancake is puffed and golden, about 21 to 23 minutes.
5. Stage
While your Dutch Baby is in the oven, combine sugar and zests in a small bowl. Using the tips of your fingers, massage zests into sugar to release their essential oils. Do this for about a minute, until the mixture smells strongly of citrus and turns a pale orange color.
6. Stage
Sprinkle citrus sugar all over the surface of your Dutch Baby as soon as it comes out of the oven. Let cool 5 minutes, then squeeze with lemon wedge and serve.
7. Stage
While Dutch Baby is baking, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Using a whisk or handmixer, beat until smooth. Fold in chives, and season lightly with salt.
8. Stage
When ready to serve, distribute slices of cucumber and smoked salmon all over the Dutch baby, then dollop with cream cheese mixture. Top with red onions, capers, sesame seeds, and more chives.
9. Stage
In a small nonstick pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar, cream or half & half, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all ingredients are completely combined.
10. Stage
Bring mixture up to a simmer, then add bananas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened to the consistency of cold maple syrup, and coats the banana slices, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour over cooked Dutch Baby and sprinkle all over with cinnamon and allspice.
11. Stage
In a small sauce pan over medium heat, combine syrup, orange peel, and cardamom. Bring mixture up to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, gently pressing on the orange peel and cardamom pods with your spoon to release more of their flavor.
12. Stage
After five minutes, remove pan from heat and let steep 10 minutes. Strain maple syrup into a pouring vessel and serve with Dutch baby.
