Recipe: Pistachio Dutch Baby with Cherry Compote

I treasure Sunday mornings at home – typically this is the time we cook breakfast that goes beyond eggs and really savor that first cup of coffee. When Domino Sugar invited me to try their newest product, Golden Sugar, I knew it would make the perfect accompaniment to my Sunday morning routine. Golden Sugar is less processed than its white counterpart and can be used as a replacement for all of my favorite recipes – I’m sold.

Pistachio Dutch Baby with Cherry Compote

Because summer means cherry season in the Mid-Atlantic, the grocery stores have just been taunting me with their perfect cherry displays. I love the way cherries taste when they’re super plump and juicy, then cooked down into a compote or a jam and paired with pistachios.

The cherry compote can be cooked up to a week ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s also super adaptable and tastes delicious on toast, ice cream, or a dutch baby.

If you’re unfamiliar with a dutch baby, allow me to reintroduce you to one of the easiest breakfast items that will taste like you’ve been up for hours standing over a hot stove. It’s a skillet pancake that can be baked in 25 minutes while you sip coffee and leisurely enjoy your morning. So simple, so good.

When it’s just my girlfriend and I for brunch, we typically split a dutch baby that we make in our 10.25 inch cast iron skillet – but if we aren’t feeling the same flavor combos, the recipe works for two 6 inch cast iron skillets.
