London Fog Dutch Baby
- Dutch Baby
- 1 cup Double steeped Earl Grey tea (two bags/portions of tea in one cup off-boiling water)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender flowers
- 1 dash nutmeg
- 3/4 cup butter, divided into 2 tablespoon pats
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 large eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon meyer lemon zest
- Lavender Lemon Cream and Lemon Sugar
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 3 teaspoons meyer lemon zest, divided (1 teaspoon for cream, 2 for sugar)
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender flowers
- 1/4 to 1/2 cups granulated sugar for sweetened cream, to taste
- 1 cup sugar
- Zest 3 meyer lemons, and cut zested lemons into wedges.rnrnHeat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Break and whisk eggs in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine steeped tea, almond milk, and vanilla. Pour into eggs, then gradually add flour, salt, lavender, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest. Whisk batter until smooth.
- Put a pat of butter into each 10 inch, well-seasoned cast iron skillet (I usually do these 4 at a time) you'll be using, and put each skillet into the oven for about 2 minutes, until butter melts. Remove, swirling to coat the sides. Pour 3/4 to 1 cup of batter into skillet, until batter reaches edges of the pan.
- Return pans to oven, baking undisturbed for 15-18 minutes, until puffy and golden brown.
- Meanwhile, whisk heavy cream with 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in 1 teaspoon lavender flowers and 1 teaspoon lemon zest and reserve for serving.
- Combine remaining lemon zest (I estimate 2 teaspoons but you may have more) with 1 cup granulated sugar. Squeeze with fingers to extract oil from the zest into the sugar.
- When dutch babies are done, a light shake back and forth of the pan should be enough to dislodge. Remove to plate, and serve topped with cream and sugar, with lemon slices alongside.
- Repeat baking as necessary (skillet will be still coated, but add another pat of butter each time) to finish using dutch baby batter--probably 2 to 4 more can be made.
- Enjoy!
