INTRODUCTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dutch Baby Muffins are a miniature version of the classic Dutch Baby pancake. They puff dramatically in the oven, forming crispy, golden, hollowed sides with a tender, custardy center. They require only a few basic ingredients \u2014 eggs, flour, milk, butter \u2014 yet bake into something impressive, airy, and rich in flavor.
This recipe uses a hot muffin tin and melted butter to create steam pockets that cause the batter to rise high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INGREDIENTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For 12 muffins:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
4 large eggs (room temperature)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1\/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted butter (divided)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional toppings: powdered sugar, lemon juice, jam, syrup, fruit, honey, chocolate sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSTRUCTIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Preheat oven<\/strong> to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Place a muffin tin in the oven while it preheats. The tin must be very hot before adding the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until frothy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Add milk and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Add flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Add about 1 teaspoon of melted butter<\/strong> into each muffin cup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Pour batter into each cup, filling them about halfway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Immediately return the pan to the oven.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Bake for 16\u201320 minutes<\/strong> until the muffins are tall, puffed, and deep golden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Do not<\/strong> open the oven door while baking or they will collapse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Serve warm with any topping.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    METHODS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Mixing method:<\/strong>
    Whisking the batter by hand gives enough air without overworking the gluten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Steam method:<\/strong>
    The hot tin and hot oven create rapid steam, which forces the batter to inflate into high puffy walls, creating the iconic bowl shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Butter method:<\/strong>
    Butter in the bottom of each cup allows the edges to crisp and brown beautifully and adds flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
