• 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp granulated sugar

Instructions

Batter

This recipe yields a single Dutch baby and is ideal for a personal blender. Add the following ingredients to the blender cup in this order: half-and-half, all-purpose flour (sifted), sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and egg. Blend on low speed for about 10 seconds, or just until combined. The batter should be smooth and thin but a few tiny lumps are acceptable. Let the batter rest briefly while heating the butter.

Air Fryer Settings

Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for a total of 10 minutes. This includes both heating the butter and cooking the Dutch baby. (Adjust time as needed based on your air fryer model.)

Cooking

You’ll need a thick, oven-safe dish that fits comfortably in your air fryer basket (approximately 6 inches in diameter). Add butter to the dish and carefully place it in the air fryer basket. Heat for about 2 minutes until the butter melts and bubbles. Remove the basket from the air fryer (keep the air fryer on) and evenly pour the batter over the hot butter. Cook for 7 minutes, or until the edges are puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before removing from the basket.

Serving

Enhance the flavor by squeezing a lemon wedge over the warm Dutch baby. Generously dust with powdered sugar for sweetness. Serve with maple syrup and fresh berries on the side.
