Raspberry Passion Fruit Dutch Baby (Print View)

Golden oven-baked Dutch baby pancake topped with fresh raspberries, passion fruit, and rich mascarpone.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dutch Baby Batter

01 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
02 - 105 grams plain flour
03 - Pinch of salt
04 - 50 grams caster sugar
05 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 3 large eggs
07 - 180 millilitres milk

→ Topping

08 - 125 grams fresh raspberries
09 - Seeds and pulp from 3 passion fruit
10 - 3 to 5 tablespoons mascarpone
11 - 1 to 2 tablespoons agave nectar

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 210°C. Place 1 tablespoon of butter into a 25cm cast iron skillet and set over low heat to melt.
02 - Add flour, salt, caster sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk to a food processor. Blend for 1 minute until smooth. Alternatively, whisk all ingredients in a bowl until lump-free.
03 - Use a pastry brush to coat the base and sides of the skillet with melted butter, ensuring an even layer.
04 - Slowly pour the batter into the centre of the skillet. Allow it to settle; a ring of butter around the edge is ideal.
05 - Place skillet in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Monitor after 12 minutes. The pancake should be puffed and golden at the edges, with a pale centre.
06 - Remove skillet from oven. Set on a heatproof surface and cool for at least 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
07 - Mix mascarpone with agave nectar in a small bowl until well combined.
08 - Spoon mascarpone mixture into the centre of the pancake. Scatter raspberries over the surface, then drizzle with passion fruit seeds and pulp. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - Blending the batter in a food processor ensures a smooth and airy texture, but hand whisking is a suitable alternative.
02 - The Dutch baby will inflate dramatically during baking and deflate as it cools; this is normal and expected.
