Blueberry Dutch Baby

I hope everyone had a wonderful & safe Christmas! It's sad to think that it is over and January is right around the corner. I'm going to miss our company of visiting family. I'm also going to miss having a reason to drive around looking at Christmas lights, watching back-to-back Christmas movies in Christmas/winter jammies, paper snowflakes, baked goodies and candies, etc! We kinda missed the boat this year just a bit...didn't get all the Christmas cards out that I intented to, and didn't do as much decorating as we have before. Regardless, I am so thankful for everything. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.

For Christmas breakfast, we usually do a rich french toast with mimosas, but this year, I wanted to see if we would be up for a change. We had to take a vote: biscuits and gravy or blueberry dutch baby. The winner was the blueberry dutch baby...but then we ended up having biscuits, eggs, and turkey bacon shortly afterwards. (We were just a tad hungry!) Everyone enjoyed it. No one added any maple syrup since it was sweet enough as it is with just a little bit of powdered sugar sprinkled over it.



Ingredients:

3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1/3 cup blueberries
powdered sugar

Directions:

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a 12" skillet.

Beat eggs with milk and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients. Whisk the dry ingredients into the milk mixture, and then add the melted butter.
Pour into the skillet and add the blueberries.

Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Then lower the heat to 325 degrees and bake for 10 minutes. Once cooled a bit, place cut portions on plates and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
