🔪 Required Kitchen Tools
To make the best Cheddar Bacon Dutch Baby, you’ll need:
✔️ Cast Iron Skillet (10 or 12 inch)
Essential for high heat and perfect puffing.
✔️ Blender or Mixing Bowl
A blender creates the smoothest batter, but a whisk bowl works too.
✔️ Oven
Must be preheated properly for the Dutch baby to rise.
✔️ Spatula & Knife
For chopping bacon and serving.
A cast-iron skillet is highly recommended, but any oven-safe pan can work.
