DAVID EYRE'S PANCAKE

Writing in The Times in 1966, Craig Claiborne described making the acquaintance of this oven-baked pancake as if he had met Grace Kelly: "It was discovered some weeks ago at an informal Sunday brunch in the handsome, Japanese-style Honolulu home of the David Eyre. With Diamond Head in the distance, a brilliant, palm-ringed sea below and this delicately flavored pancake before us, we seemed to have achieved paradise." (Life was good if you were a food writer in the 1960s.) Nearly 50 years later, readers are still making the dish, and swooning like Claiborne.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 1 pancake, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (one half stick)
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, and nutmeg in a bowl. Beat lightly. Leave the batter a little lumpy as overbeating will make the pancake tough.
  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch cast iron or other ovenproof skillet with a heatproof handle. When it is very hot and slightly browned, pour in the batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pancake is golden brown.
  • 4. Sprinkle with the sugar and return briefly to the oven. Sprinkle with lemon juice, and serve. My kids like the sugar and lemon juice stirred together like a kind of glaze drizzled onto the pancake, which is how I remember having crepes from the crepe stands in Paris -- Additionally can be served with jelly, jam, or marmalade.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Make sure all your ingredients are measured, prepped, and ready to go before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Properly Heat Your Pan: Heat your pan over medium heat for at least 2 minutes before adding the batter. This will help ensure that the pancakes cook evenly and don't stick.
  • Use the Right Amount of Batter: Use about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. This will help you get perfectly sized pancakes that are not too thick or too thin.
  • Cook Slowly and Patiently: Cook the pancakes over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Don't rush the process, or the pancakes will not cook through.
  • Flip Only Once: Once you see bubbles forming around the edges of the pancake, it's time to flip. Flip the pancake only once, and do not press down on it with the spatula.
  • Stay Warm: Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a preheated oven or on a baking sheet covered with foil until ready to serve.

Conclusion:

David Eyre's pancake recipe is a classic for a reason. It's simple, straightforward, and produces delicious pancakes every time. With just a few simple tips, you can make perfect pancakes that will impress your family and friends.
