This dish won us over not only because of its great name, but also because it puffs up to great heights while cooking. Because it does not come out as sweet as griddle pancakes, it is traditionally served with lemon juice and powdered sugar, but we find it even more tasty with spoonfuls of Caramelized Pears.
Game plan: If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, the pancake can also be made in a large, ovenproof frying pan.
This recipe was featured as part of our Winter Cabin Fever story.
I added the bacon, blueberries and syrup from a comment in the rceipe thread. Sounded delicious and a little more “comfort food” than the pears
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter/bacon fat
- "Caramelized Pears":/recipes/11444, for serving
- 1/4 ib. bacon, cooked crisp
- Fresh Blueberries
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the oven to 425°F and arrange the rack in the middle. Place a large, seasoned cast iron skillet in the oven as it preheats, at least 5 minutes.
- Alternately, fry up baon in the skillet until crisp while the oven is heating. Let Bacon cool & then crumble
- Combine flour, salt, bacon, and orange zest in a large bowl and whisk to break up lumps and incorporate; set aside. Combine eggs, milk, and vanilla in a separate bowl and whisk until eggs are broken up. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, dump in the egg mixture, and mix until batter is thoroughly moistened and batter is slightly lumpy, about 1 minute.
- Using a dry kitchen towel or an oven mitt, remove the skillet from the oven and add butter. Once butter melts, tilt the skillet to coat the bottom and sides.
- Pour batter into the skillet and bake in the oven until puffed and golden brown on the sides, about 20 minutes. Remove pancake from the oven and serve immediately with pears, blueberries & syrup or honey and a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
