Making a Dutch Baby Pancake is both an art and a science. Follow these steps to achieve pancake perfection:

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for the pancake to rise and achieve that distinctive puffiness.
2. Prepare the Batter
   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps in the batter.
3. Melt the Butter
   In a cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe pan, melt the butter in the oven until it’s sizzling. This usually takes a few minutes. The hot butter helps the batter cook evenly and prevents sticking.
4. Bake the Pancake
   Pour the batter into the hot skillet and return it to the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
5. Add Toppings
   Remove the pancake from the oven and top it with fresh berries. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
6. Serve
   Slice and serve the pancake while it’s warm. Enjoy the blend of fluffy pancake, fresh berries, and a hint of sweetness from the powdered sugar.
