Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet into the oven and preheat to 450-degrees.
In a bowl, combine the 1/4 cup sugar and lemon zest. Toss 2 TBSP lemon sugar with the strawberries. Set aside.
In a blender, combine 4 large eggs, 2/3 cups whole milk, 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and blend 30 seconds on high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender halfway through to make sure all flour is incorporated.
Add 3 Tablespoons butter to the hot skillet and place back in the oven.
When the butter has melted, carefully pour dutch baby batter into the skillet. Sprinkle with ½ cup strawberries and the remaining lemon sugar. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until golden and puffy.
Serve with additional strawberries. Enjoy!
