DUTCH BABY WITH FIGS AND RASPBERRIES
A cross between a pancake and a Yorkshire pudding, this epic breakfast or brunch dish is an American creation with Germanic roots. You often see it served in the cast-iron skillet it’s cooked in. I’m using figs and raspberries here, but it can be adorned with anything you feel like adding. It also makes a great edible serving bowl for scoops of vanilla ice cream, maple syrup and toasted pecans.

Serves 4

METHOD
• Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/425°F/gas mark 7.
• Mix the flour, milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a large bowl. Heat the 30g (1oz) butter in a 25cm (10in) cast-iron pan (skillet). When it’s good and hot, pour in the batter. Transfer to the oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until risen and golden.
• In the meantime, to make the fig and raspberry filling, melt the 25g (1oz) butter in a large frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat. Add the figs and the sugar and warm gently over a low-medium heat for about 5 minutes, to warm the fruit through and soften it a little. (If using the Marsala, add it to the pan now, turn up the heat a bit and simmer until the volume of the liquid is reduced by half.)
• Remove from the heat and stir in the raspberries. Set aside.
• To serve, fill the risen Dutch baby with the warm fruit and any juices from the pan. Serve with crème fraîche and a dusting of icing (confectioner’s) sugar.
