David Eyre's Pancake image

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.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
Pinch of ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Juice of half a lemon
Fig or blackberry jam, pear butter or any kind of marmalade, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the flour, milk and nutmeg and lightly beat until blended but still slightly lumpy.
  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet with a heatproof handle over medium-high heat. When very hot but not brown, pour in the batter. Bake in the oven until the pancake is billowing on the edges and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Working quickly, remove the pan from the oven and, using a fine-meshed sieve, sprinkle with the sugar. Return to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes more. Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve with jam, pear butter or marmalade.

These pancakes were a bit bland. I think I'll add some vanilla extract next time.

These pancakes were a bit dry, but I think that was my fault for not using enough milk. Other than that, they were very good.

These pancakes were a bit dense and heavy. I think I might have overmixed the batter. Overall, they were okay, but I don't think I'll be making them again.

I made these pancakes for my kids and they loved them! They were so easy to make and the kids had a lot of fun helping me mix the batter. We'll definitely be making these again.

These pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were very good. I think next time I'll use a little less honey or omit it altogether.

I've tried many pancake recipes over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. The pancakes are always light and fluffy, with a perfect golden brown color. They're also incredibly easy to make, which is a huge plus for me on busy mornings.
