Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of cranberries and 1 teaspoon of Chinese five spice. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 large eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour the blended batter over the sautéed cranberries in the hot skillet, ensuring it evenly covers the fruit.
  4. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown.
  5. Remove the skillet from the oven and slice the Dutch baby into wedges. Serve topped with maple syrup or powdered sugar.
