Recipe Introduction
You can make this savory by omitting the sugar, lemon and berries and adding grated sharp cheese, sauteed mushrooms and cooked bacon at the end. There are many variations."
One variation is to sprinkle a half cup of berries (or any kind of chopped fruit) over the top of the baked pancake instead of into the batter.
List of Ingredients
Makes 2 servings
2 eggs
½ cup flour
½ cup milk
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Juice of half a lemon (or less, to taste)
¼ cup fresh blueberries
Blueberry jam, marmalade, honey, or syrup
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs. Add flour, milk, nutmeg and salt. Blend by hand but leave slightly lumpy.
Heat a cast iron skillet or a 12-inch skillet with a heat-proof handle over medium heat. Add butter, melt and heat without browning, then pour in the batter. Sprinkle berries in batter, spacing the fruit widely. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until pancake is golden brown and billowing on the edges.
Working quickly, remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar evenly over the cake with a fine sieve. Return to oven for 1-2 more minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with lemon juice. Serve with jam, syrup or whatever.
