- 2 tbsp butter, unsalted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup milk, room temperature
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Salt, a pinch

Notes
This recipe uses Valley Fig Growers’ Dried Figs (I used a mix of their Sun Maid Calimyrna Figs and the Blue Ribbon Orchard Choice Mission Figlets), and rehydrates them using the instructions noted in the post above. While fresh figs will work fine (albeit, taste slightly different), you will miss out on the lovely orange flavour infused into the rehydrated figs.
Make sure to place the rehydrated figs into the pan, and THEN pour the batter over and around them. Pouring the batter into the pan first, and then placing the figs on top may affect how well the Dutch Baby Pancake rises.
