Delightful Earl Grey Infused Dutch Baby Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 divided Earl Grey tea bags
• ½ cup of milk
• 2 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar
• 3 eggs
• ½ cup of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 1 apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons of packed brown sugar
• A pinch of ground nutmeg
• A dash of cinnamon

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for the perfect baking temperature.

Step 2

Next, gently warm milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Take a moment to create a cozy tea infusion by placing 2 tea bags in a bowl and pouring the hot milk over them. Let the tea steep for about 5 minutes to fully infuse the flavors.

Step 3

After the tea has steeped, carefully press the tea bags to extract all the flavorful liquid, then set them aside. Allow the infused milk to cool down completely for the best results.

Step 4

While the tea is infusing the milk, take the remaining tea bag and separate the tea leaves. Grind these leaves into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Mix half of this ground tea with confectioners' sugar in a small bowl, reserving the rest for later.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, the tea-infused milk, a touch of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the batter is smooth and well-combined. Strain the batter through a mesh sieve to ensure a silky texture without any lumps.

Step 6

In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, melt some butter over medium-high heat. Quickly add in apple slices, brown sugar, the reserved ground tea, a hint of nutmeg, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Cook and stir until the apples are tender, creating a fragrant and delicious filling in about 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the prepared batter over the apple mixture and transfer the skillet to the awaiting oven.

Step 7

Bake the pancake until it is beautifully set, puffed up, and turns a lovely golden brown color, typically taking around 13 to 15 minutes. Once ready, give the skillet a gentle shake to release the pancake, then carefully transfer it onto a serving plate. Finish off this delightful creation by dusting it with the Earl Grey-sugar mixture for a final touch of sweetness and flavor.
