Dutch Baby with Hot Cross Bun Croutons and Smashed Easter Eggs
I still think last year’s Easter dessert, the Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream is one of the best desserts I have ever made so there was a bit of pressure to come up with an equally delicious dessert this year. I played with a number of ideas (and it took a while to think of something that I thought was interesting enough) but I think I have managed that by giving a dutch baby an Easter makeover. The final result being a Dutch Baby with Hot Cross Bun Croutons and Smashed Easter Eggs.
The crunchy hot cross bun croutons comes from last year’s ice cream recipe. They are super delicious and it can be quite difficult to stop eating them. Bite sized pieces of hot cross buns are coated in butter and muscovado sugar and then baked to make crisp, crunchy, spicy and sweet croutons.
The dutch baby is a recipe I have made before and is super easy to make. A thin pancake batter is poured into a blazing hot cast iron pan and placed in a hot oven. The batter puffs up around the edges and rises higher and higher, while turning a beautiful golden brown colour. The kitchen smells amazing and the steam in the cooked batter evaporates once you have taken it out of the oven and the middle will sink.
It is in the sunken middle that you place the hot cross bun croutons, a few milk chocolate easter eggs smashed to pieces and some fresh raspberries to counteract all the sweetness. Enjoy!
