List of Ingredients

4 beaten egg yolks
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup lukewarm milk
1/4 cup lukewarm water
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
grated rind of one lemon


Recipe

Combine the above and stir until smooth. Beat until very stiff: 4 To 5 egg whites. Fold them into the yolk mixture. Melt in a heavy 10-inch skillet 2 tbl. butter. When the skillet is hot, pour in the pancake batter. Cook It over a medium heat, partly covered with a lid, for about 5 Minutes. Or the batter may be cooked until it begins to set and then be placed briefly in a preheated 400ºF oven until it is puffed and firm. Cooking time in all is about 7 minutes. It should puff up well, but it may fall, so serve it at once with: Confectioner's sugar and cinnamon or lemon juice; covered with jam or jelly and rolled; or with wine, fruit, or rum sauce. Serves 2.
