Instructions
Instructions are for 6 servings. Please modify as needed.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place all ingredients, except for the butter, in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Blend for at least a minute to aerate the mixture. Set aside.
Put the butter in a 10-inch (25 cm) oven-proof skillet and place it in the oven. When the butter begins to sizzle, remove the pan from the oven and pour the batter into the center of the hot skillet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the Dutch baby is puffy and browned. The center should be just set. The Dutch baby is likely to rise in a lopsided fashion and will deflate somewhat as it cools.
Serve hot or cold. Garnish with a dash of cinnamon, sprinkle of powdered sweetener, or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
Kristie's tips
When warm, the texture is lighter, and when cold it is completely different. My family generally prefers them cold as they are much more like a custard. If you aren’t familiar with a Dutch Baby, be prepared for it to bake up puffy and lopsided, and then to deflate just out of the oven.
For best results, be sure to let all ingredients come to room temperature before placing them in the blender.

Is the whey protein vital? Is there a substitute?
ThanksReply: #4

There is not a good substitute for whey protein isolate. The protein helps give lift and structure to baked goods like gluten does in wheat flour.

I can't wait to try this. I've never had a Dutch baby but I've been missing gingerbread since going keto. I honestly don't know what I'd do without all the fine folks here at Diet Doctor. Thank you, Kristin for the recipe. :)

This was amazing and turned out perfectly! I like mine on the spicy side so I changed the clove and ginger to a teaspoon each. Delicious! Even my non-keto family loved it!

What does the whey protein isolate add to the process? i.e. what is its function

The protein helps give structure and rise to baked goods, like gluten normally does in wheat flours.

i'm not celiac, and gluten is a protein
could i use the vital wheat gluten instead of whey
and... guessing since both are proteins, the same amount?i have gluten for making my husband bread but don't have unflavored whey.

i have gluten for making my husband bread but don't have unflavored whey.We have not tested this recipe with vital wheat gluten and don't incorporate it as an ingredient in our recipes.

This looks amazing - I have it in the oven baking right now! Not sure what I did wrong but it's been in there for half an hour now and still not set in the middle...I can see it bulging underneath from the liquid when I tilt it. Has anyone else had this issue? I put the oven at 180 as it's a fan and now turned down to 160 as it's browned but needs longer I think

This should be jiggly in the center but not liquid. "Bulging" is harder to troubleshoot.

Thanks :) I wasn't familiar with dutch baby before trying this recipe but looking at pics I think my pan was way too small! Definitely over cooked it through over worrying but was delicious all the same. Added to my favourites :)

I used a 10 inch glass pie pan instead and it only needed an extra 4 -5 minutes in the oven for the middle to set. (My fry pans were either too big or too small) This is very similar to pumpkin pie's filling. Yummy!

I have made this twice and the center was still liquid and this time the top is burning. I followed the directions to a T.
It also does not puff up high. The only thing I wonder about is maybe my whey protein is old? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The last one was delicious once I got the center cooked. Looking forward to making these often but need to perfect the cooking. Thank youReplies: #20, #21

Your temperature is too high. Drop by 25-50 degrees so it will cook through before burning. Watch carefully. If the top is brown but the center is not done, turn the temp down to 300 and check frequently. Try letting you eggs and cream warm up to room temp so there is less temperature change needed.

is there a substitute for Maple Extract? I cannot find it in Australia.

Hi, Allan! You may just want to try using a bit more vanilla extract, or you could simply omit it if needed.
