Directions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 230°C (445°F) and place your cast iron pan on the middle shelf. Make sure there's enough space above it for your Dutch Baby to expand.
  2. 2In a stick blender jug add the eggs, flour, milk & salt. Blend until smooth and aerated. This can also be done in a stand up blender.
  3. 3Leave the mixture to stand whilst the oven comes up to temperature. The closer the mix is to room temp, the better rise you'll get in the finished product.
  4. 4Chop the parsley, dill and tarragon.
  5. 5Grate the parmesan.
  6. 6Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl.
  7. 7Add a little bit of black pepper to the herb mixture.
  8. 8When you're ready to go, remove the pan from the oven and add the butter. Let it bubble and melt down completely.
  9. 9Pour your batter mix into the pan.
  10. 10Scatter the cheese and herb mix over the top and return to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time.
  11. 11Arrange the smoked salmon in the bottom of the Dutch Baby and spoon over the dill crème fraîche.
  12. 12In a bowl mix the crème fraîche, chopped dill, lemon zest and salt.
  13. 13Top with more fresh dill, flaky salt, black pepper and lemon zest to your taste.
