Dutch Baby with Kiwi Berry and Lemon Sauce

I've made a million dutch babies in my time. However, this weekend I had a TON of kiwi berries in the fridge and they were close to going bad. So, why not make something with them and pair it with a morning breakfast ritual???

Recipe for the Dutch Baby as follows - 

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• pinch of Cinnamon
• pinch of Nutmeg
• pinch of salt
• 2 teaspoons of Mexican Vanilla 
• 2 tablespoons of butter

 

1. Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet (I prefer a Porcelain Enameled skillet) inside oven and preheat oven to 450ºF.
2. In a bowl, beat eggs until fluffy. Add milk and stir. Whisk in flour, nutmeg, Cinnamon, Mexican Vanilla, and salt.
3. Remove skillet from oven. Melt butter in hot skillet so that inside of skillet is completely coated with butter. Pour all the batter in the skillet and return skillet to oven. Don't worry about the extra butter in the skillet...it only adds yumminess!
4. Bake until puffed and lightly browned, about 13-15 minutes. The edges will rise up higher than the rest...once those are browned, the baby is done.

 Recipe for the Kiwi Berry and Lemon Sauce as follows - 

• 20-30 kiwi berries
• 1 lemon
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 cups of water

1. Place kiwi berries in a pot with the 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Let the water reduce a little.
2. Mash the berries in the pan and boil some more...let the water reduce even more.
3. Using a strainer and another bowl, strain the kiwi berries and mash them in the strainer. Catch all the excess juice in the bowl below the strainer. I really mashed the heck out of them to get all the flavor! You want to be sure to use a strainer that won't allow the skin to go through the holes. 
4. Return the kiwi berry juice to the pan and discard the skins and seeds (some seeds may get through the strainer but that's ok.
5. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan
6. Add sugar and stir constantly!
7. Simmer until you get a nice glaze like sauce. 
8. You can add more water if you feel it is too thick.

Pour the kiwi berry and lemon sauce over the Dutch Baby and Voila! I like to serve with fresh fruit and sometimes some powdered sugar.
