Pour Dutch Baby batter into the skillet with the melted butter and bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is very puffy and golden brown. Reduce the oven temp to 300 degrees and bake for about 5 more minutes.
Remove from oven and dust with confectioners' sugar, slice into wedges to serve.

Add 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar and continue to reduce for about 5 minutes.
Taste the compote and add more balsamic a teaspoon at a time, to taste. Add the pinch of salt.
