Servings: 4

It's blueberry season, one of my favorite times of the year!  Some of my favorites are blueberries in Greek yogurt, blueberry cake, blueberry pancakes, and for Sunday brunch I made this oven baked blueberry pancake (also called Dutch baby) in my favorite 10-inch cast iron skillet.  Verdict?  Delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

Dry

1 cup flour

3 tablespoons baking powder

½ teaspoon course salt

Wet

¾ cup milk

1 egg

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Other

1 tablespoon butter for pan

¾ cup blueberries

2 teaspoons sugar

Powdered sugar

Syrup

DIRECTIONS:

·         Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Place an oven safe pan into the oven. (a 10-inch cast iron skillet)

·         Mix wet ingredients: ¾ cup milk, one egg, two tablespoons melted butter. Whisk.

·         Mix dry ingredients: One cup flour, three tablespoons sugar, two teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon course salt. Whisk. Mix wet into dry ingredients and whisk until combined; but do not overdo it.

·         When oven is hot, remove the pan and melt one tablespoon butter being sure to get sides.

·         Pour batter into the heated buttered pan. Sprinkle ¾ cup blueberries on the batter; then sprinkle with one to two teaspoons sugar.

·         Bake until brown and toothpick comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.
