Preheat oven to 375 degrees (Fahrenheit)

Place the two tablespoons of butter in the pan, then put the pan into the preheating oven (or if it’s already pre-heated, you can put it in at 375 as well, it will melt quicker though)

Take the butter out when it is melted. Don’t let it burn! (Not that I’ve ever done that before...:oops:) just keep an eye on it.

While the oven is pre-heating/butter melting, make the batter.

First put the 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a medium/large mixing bowl.

Mix that together with a whisk.

This step is optional, but I usually make a well in the center, using my fingers. (If you don’t want to get your fingers floury, you can use the back of a measuring cup)

Then you add the 3 cups milk, and 4 eggs.

(Note, the recipe is pretty forgiving when it comes to egg sizes, as you can see here, I use both bantam and large eggs)

Whisk really well. You don’t want their to be egg white/yolks left in the separated otherwise parts of the finished product may taste like scrambled egg. (it’s ok if there’s a few flour lumps though)

Next (hopefully you didn’t forget about!)
Pour the batter into the pan. It works best if the pan is hot. By now the butter should be fully melted, and it’s ok if you already took the pan out of the oven earlier.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, it varies by oven.
And of course, enjoy!

Hi again! I made the Dutch Baby, and have tip to share. Don't use bread flour because you ran out of All-Purpose flour! I did, and it tasted DELICIOUS, but didn't have that beautiful poof shown in the picture. Thank you for sharing this recipe! I look forward to making it again, this time with the correct flour haha.

Oh no! I'm so sorry that it didn't turn out well! Yeah, I probably wouldn't recommend using bread flour. But I'm glad it tasted good!
 
The dough isn’t folded. It puffs up pretty high, then collapses a little bit. Sorry that it’s confusing! What can I do to make it more clear? Thanks!
Oh, also, it’s more wet than I’d call a dough. It’s more batter like, so pretty thin.
