For the Dutch baby

  • ¾ cup Milk (room temperature)
  • tablespoons sugar
  • teaspoons vanilla extract
  • teaspoon kosher salt

For the spiced pear topping

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions: 

For the Dutch baby

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F.
