Recipe: Baby Dutch Babies With Blueberry Compote

Baby Dutch Babies With Blueberry Compote

Makes 12.

Note: Serve these with a dollop of yogurt, or shower them with powdered sugar. If you don't have two muffin pans, you can make these in one; they'll just get a little crowded. Nonstick pans work best. From Kim Ode.

• 1 c. flour

• 4 eggs

• 1 c. milk

• 1 tsp. vanilla

• 1/2 tsp. salt

• Pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg, optional

• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, vanilla and salt until smooth. Add cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes. (This lets the flour fully absorb the milk and eggs.)

Cut each tablespoon of butter into 6 equal pieces (equal to 1/2 teaspoon) and place a piece in 6 of the 12 muffin cups, spacing them in every other cup; repeat with the second pan. Place pans in the oven until the butter melts, about 1 minute.

Measure 1/4 cup of batter into each buttered cup.

Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Once out of the oven, the puffs will immediately begin to deflate, forming a cup for the blueberry compote. Run a knife around the edges to remove, then fill and serve immediately.
