cooking on cast iron is by far my favorite way to cook
as is using our hen's eggs
farm fresh eggs makes this morning delight a rich golden color... and this puffed oven pancake is a great quick breakfast on a Saturday morning
it acts like a souffle so do not fret when it releases it's "puff"
serve with fresh strawberries
cooking on cast iron gives foods I prepare a great texture and flavor it's actually my favorite way to cook... on cast iron
enjoy!
Morning Delight serves 8
4 T. butter 6 eggs 1 cup all purpose/unbleached flour 1 cup milk 1/2 tsp. salt fresh strawberries, sliced (about 2 cups)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place butter in an 18" ovenproof skillet and place in oven until butter melts, about 4 minutes. In your mixer or bowl, beat the eggs until combined. Add the flour, milk and salt and beat until smooth. Remove skillet from oven and immediately put your egg mixture into hot skillet. Bake for about 25 minutes (a nice golden color will tell you it's done). While it's baking, slice your strawberries and set your table sweetly. Serve right away. This pancake will puff in the oven and looks glorious — and then flattens like a pancake (ha) — so serving it immediately will show the others you are feeding how pretty it is... but it literally takes seconds for it to deflate... (it acts like a souffle).
No need for syrup on this one, however, Jason does appreciate having the maple syrup to drizzle on top.
