I looked at pictures of Dutch babies online to try to figure out what to expect. Every picture was different! Some were flat and rose only slightly, and some were puffy in the middle. What fun I had watching through the oven door. It kept puffing up until I thought it would explode. I knew that once I removed it from the oven, it would deflate, so I worked really fast to get a picture. It was like a cheesy, cherry custard pancake. I topped mine with honey and a little lemon juice and then sprinkled it with powdered sugar. You could also top it with more cherries.

How To Make spiced sweet cherry dutch baby

Step 1

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Place a cast iron skillet in the oven.

Step 2

While the skillet is heating, combine flour, eggs, milk, sugar, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt in a blender or mixer.
Step 3

Mix until smooth.
Step 4

When the pan is almost hot, add butter and cherries and heat until cherries are bubbling.
Step 5

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour batter into the pan. Sprinkle cheese on top.
Step 6

Return to oven. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the sides of the Dutch baby are pulling away from the pan, and it is puffed up and browned. Do not open the door while your Dutch baby is cooking, or it will not rise.
Step 7

Remove from oven and enjoy your own personal Dutch baby masterpiece! Carefully remove to a serving plate and top with powdered sugar, honey, or anything else you like.
