Description
Tiny golden puffs of joy, Dutch Baby Bites are mini versions of the classic oven pancake. Light, airy, and slightly sweet, they’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.
Ingredients
- Large Eggs: 4 (Help the batter puff dramatically in the oven)
- Whole Milk: 1 cup (Adds richness and helps create that custard-like center)
- All-Purpose Flour: 2/3 cup (Forms the structure of each bite)
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon (Adds warm aromatic notes)
- Granulated Sugar: 2 tablespoons (Just a hint of sweetness)
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon (Balances the flavors)
- Unsalted Butter: 2 tablespoons (Melted into each muffin cup for flavor and crisp edges)
- Powdered Sugar: For dusting (Optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Place your muffin tin in the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or mixing bowl, blend eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Remove hot muffin tin from oven. Add 1/4 teaspoon butter to each cup and swirl to coat.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour batter evenly into each cup, filling halfway.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 13–15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Finishing Touches: Let cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve and Enjoy: Add your favorite toppings and dig in while warm.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for best puff.
- Rest the batter for 10 minutes before baking.
- Don’t open the oven door early—it will deflate your bites.
