It’s about this time of year (end of February, beginning of March) that I really start diving headfirst into brunch recipes. There is just something about spring that makes me think of brunch. Of course, brunch can be served all year long, and IS served all year long, but when I think the of the ultimate brunch spread, I think of it happening in spring.

I think this is because of all of the freshness we are surrounded by. We start seeing fruits and veggies that we haven’t seen in a year. Easter is a huge brunch day for us, and Mother’s Day brunch is ultimately my favorite. There’s just something special about being surrounded by your favorite people and indulging in all kinds of breakfasty foods. It makes me smile inside just thinking about it.

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.

Let the dutch baby pancake cool slightly. At this point, the dutch baby should deflate.
  • While your dutch baby is baking, prepare your lemon crema. Place the whipping cream in the bowl of your stand mixer, with whisk attachment fixed. Mix until medium-high speed until it just starts to form soft peaks. Add the sugar, lemon zest and salt, and then continue mixing until stiff peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to use.
