SAVORY DUTCH BABY WITH BRATWURST AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat up for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, 1/2 cup of the flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the butter to the hot skillet and return it to the oven until the butter melts, about 2 minutes. Once the butter is melted, carefully pour the batter into the skillet and immediately return it to the oven. Bake until the Dutch baby is browned and puffed, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bratwurst and cook, stirring, until it is heated through and starts to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and apple and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture is evenly coated, about 1 minute. Stir in the broth and simmer until the mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mustard and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the Dutch baby from the oven. Spoon some of the bratwurst mixture on top and sprinkle with parsley. Serve right away, passing the remaining bratwurst mixture at the table.

Steps:

• Place a medium ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron, in center of oven and preheat oven to 450°F. Let skillet heat at least 25 minutes total (prepare your toppings while you wait).
• Blend eggs in a blender on high speed until very frothy, about 1 minute. With motor running, gradually stream in milk, then 2 Tbsp. butter; blend another 30 seconds. Add flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper and blend just to combine. (This batter doubles well if you want to scale up.)
• Carefully remove skillet from oven and swirl remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in skillet to coat. Immediately pour batter into skillet (butter will brown quickly, so have batter at the ready to prevent burning). Bake pancake until puffed and brown around edges, 20-25 minutes. It will begin to deflate as soon as it comes out. Top as desired.

• Meanwhile, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the microwave. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the flour, the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar, and the salt. Whisk the flour mixture into the milk mixture, whisking until there are no lumps. Pour the batter over the cooked apple in the hot pan and immediately place in the oven.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and the edges start to get crispy and browned. Dust lightly with sifted confectioners' sugar, cut in wedges, and serve hot with maple syrup.
