Ingredients

  • *for the strawberry hibiscus syrup*
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 2 tablespoon dried hibiscus flowers
  • *for the Dutch baby*
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk dairy or nondairy both work fine
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla bean paste can substitute with vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • *to serve*
  • fresh strawberries
  • vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  • First, prepare the syrup. In a small nonstick pot, combine the water, sugar, strawberry slices, and hibiscus. Heat on medium-high until it comes to a boil, then lower to medium-low, and simmer. Cook syrup for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes thick and dark pink.
  • Strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve to get rid of the strawberry and hibiscus pieces.
  • Store in a jar in the fridge until needed.
  • When ready to make the Dutch baby, heat oven to 450F. Place a 10" oven-safe pan in the oven to preheat as well.
  • In a blender, combine the eggs, flour, milk, vanilla bean paste, and salt. Blend until smooth and silky.
  • When oven is ready, add the pieces of butter to the hot pan, and swirl around to coat the whole surface.
  • Pour in the prepared batter, and bake for 18-20 minutes. Dutch baby will get super puffy!
  • When pancake is ready, top with ice cream, fresh strawberries, and the prepared strawberry hibiscus syrup. Serve immediately!
