2 tablespoons butter
3 eggs
½ cup flour
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 425°. Place the butter in a heavy 10-inch skillet or pan and melt it in the oven.
Meanwhile, prepare the batter: beat the eggs vigorously in a medium-sized bowl for 30 seconds, and then gradually add the flour while you beat constantly. Pour in the milk and salt and mix to incorporate them thoroughly.
When the butter is melted, tip the pan to coat the bottom with it. Pour in the batter, return the pan to the oven, and bake for 20 minutes. Then lower the oven temperature to 300° and cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove the Dutch Babies from the oven, cut them into wedges, and serve immediately with maple syrup, or melted butter, a sprinkling of lemon juice and confectioners’ sugar.
