- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- Jam, fruit butter or any marmalade, or fruit for serving (optional)
Instructions
Place a 10″ or 12″ cast iron pan in oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
While the oven and pan preheat, in a mixing bowl, beat the two eggs. Add in the flour & milk and whisk until incorporated with just a few lumps remaining.
When preheated, remove pan and add butter. Swirl until butter melts, then immediately add the batter and place pan in oven.
Bake for about 13 – 15 minutes until the pancake is puffed, golden brown around the outside, and looks nearly dry in the center. Working quickly, remove pancake and sift the powdered sugar (using a fine sieve) over it, then return it to the oven for another 1 – 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the pancake with lemon and powdered sugar, and serve it immediately with desired accompaniments.
