Ingredients
Dutch Baby
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 2/3 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Cranberry Compote
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 orange, juiced
- 1/4 cup grand marnier
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- pinch of sea salt
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold

Instructions
Cranberry Compote
- Combine all the ingredients for the Cranberry Compote in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and are soft. You still want them to be a little saucy and syrupy. Let them cool for 10 minutes or so.
Whipped Cream
- Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Dutch Baby
- Preheat an oven to 400 F.
- Combine all the ingredients in the blender, except for the butter, and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and let the batter sit for 10 minutes while the oven preheats.
- Place the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, drop the butter in the skillet and swirl it to coat. Return to the oven for 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn the butter. Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the batter in.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with the cranberry compote, whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar. You can also top with a bit more orange zest.
