I love this lemon strawberry dutch baby! It is so easy and the perfect dish when you don’t want to make a bunch of pancakes. Perfect for breakfast, brunch and why not dinner? This is not hard to make but so delicious and looks great!
Who doesn’t love dishes that are loaded with fresh berries in the summer? The berries are tossed with sugar and the zest of a lemon and added to the final dish after it has cooked in the oven.

I made these in a small iron skillet I’ve had for years. I think the iron skillet is perfect to make these in because you heat the butter on your stovetop, pour the batter in then place it in the oven. The iron skillet holds the heat beautifully that helps the pancake puff up. Here’s the 10 inch skillet I use: https://amzn.to/2D5nRMc.
