This blackberry lemon Dutch baby is the best way to start the day. Ready in no time and perfect when served with ice cream or whipped cream. Plus you’ll love that blackberry lemon combo!
I’m all over my love for Dutch babies.
They have crispy edges, and soft centers and are usually packed full of citrus flavor.
I make them several times a month and almost always switch up the flavor combinations with whatever I can find in my fridge.
I personally love this version because who doesn’t love that classic blackberry lemon combo?
PLUS, not to sound totally horrible, Dutch babies are the only type of babies I want in my house.
Soooooooo much easier to deal with than actual human babies.
Am I right?
If you’ve never made a Dutch baby I BEG you stop what you’re doing right this second and make this recipe.
Well, within reason.
If you’re driving a car or something don’t just stop in the middle of the highway to try and cook this recipe.
PLUSPLUSPLUS this recipe is just soooooo pretty!
It makes your lunch (or brunch…or dinner) table looks like something that jumped right out of a magazine.
Trust me, this Dutch baby is going to be your new favorite breakfast recipe.

I wish more people who comment would be the ones who actually prepared the dish already, since that is what helps for most of us in the decision of making a certain recipe. Anyway, I'm so glad I have made this amazing Dutch baby! I've never had one and I have never even heard of it before, I just had some sour blackberries that I didn't want to through away... I made it with the cast iron dish preheated, thanks to one of the comments that I've read and served it with honey on top. To die for!!! I've made it twice in three days. Thank you so much for this recipe.

I thought the key to getting a crispy edge was to preheat the cast iron pan in the oven. Your instructions don’t mention that though. Does it work without that step?
