Chocolate Dutch Baby

Serves 8 (or 4)

(recipe adapted from Everyday Food Magazine)

• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup all purpose flour, spooned & leveled
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted (I didn’t sift)
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar, for dusting
• 1/2 pint strawberries, hulled & quartered

Preheat oven to 425 F. In a blender, combine milk, eggs, flour, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla and sugar. Blend for 1 minute. The mixture will be foamy. In a large cast-iron skillet melt butter over medium heat. Pour the batter into the skillet and immediately transfer to the oven. Bake until puffed and set, about 20 minutes. Dust with confectioner’s sugar, top with strawberries and serve immediately.
