About the Recipe
Reminiscent of a crepe-meets-funnel cake, impressive camping breakfast!
Ingredients
3 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup whole milk or heavy cream, room temperature
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Optional toppings
Syrup, fresh fruit, preserves, confectioners' (powdered) sugar, or cinnamon sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare your coals: Either light charcoals (recommended) or start a campfire for cooking. Coals will take about 20 minutes to light, a campfire will take up to an hour to burn down to embers. Once the embers or charcoals are ready, set your Dutch oven over the heat to preheat
Step 2
To make the batter, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat vigorously until smooth. Add the milk, and give a quick stir to incorporate. Then add the flour, sugar, salt, and optional nutmeg. Mix together until smooth.
Step 3
Place the butter in the bottom of the Dutch oven and swirl it around until it melts. Once the butter is completely melted, pour your batter into the Dutch oven.
Step 4
Cover the Dutch oven with the lid. Place on a small bed of coals, and then cover the lid with additional coals.
Step 5
After 10 minutes, take a quick peak to check progress. You're looking for the Dutch baby to be puffed up and golden brown in spots. Cook for a few more minutes if needed, and remove from the heat when it's done.
Serve immediately with your toppings of choice.
