Fluffy Dutch Baby: Easy, Comforting, and Perfectly Puffing

Why does my Dutch Baby deflate after baking?
This is completely normal! The dramatic puff is caused by steam; it naturally collapses as it cools.

Can I make it in a skillet instead of a pie dish?
Yes! A well-seasoned 10-inch oven-safe skillet works perfectly.

Can I prep the batter ahead of time?
Batter is best baked immediately, but it can be made 15–20 minutes in advance. Avoid letting it sit too long, or it may lose some lift.
