Golden Puff Pancake

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Clean Eating: Golden Puff Pancake! When it comes to convenience, this one-dish weekend wonder can save the day. You know how we tend to take it slow and easy for all things breakfast after a good night’s sleep? Yes, we’re worth it. That doesn’t mean, however, that we need to spend all the time in the kitchen flipping pancakes and dredging French toast through an egg batter. A Golden Puff Pancake is pretty much a cousin to the Dutch Baby. Everything gets mixed together and then baked into an airy popover-style pancake that immediately deflates once it’s removed from the oven. At first glance it appears as though someone in the house opened the oven door and then slammed it shut again. No worries. Fill the “well” with fresh fruit and powdered sugar. It looks and tastes fantastic.

GOLDEN PUFF PANCAKE

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons butter

Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Strawberries, blueberries, and fresh mint for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425°. Butter a one-quart ovenproof casserole dish. Set aside. In a food processor, combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, and sea salt. Blend until smooth. Let batter rest for 5 minutes. Place butter in casserole dish. Transfer to hot oven to melt. Watch carefully, 1-2 minutes. Do not scorch. Swirl butter to coat pan. Pour in batter. Bake 18-20 minutes, or until pancake is fluffy and deeply golden. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar. Garnish with strawberries, blueberries, and fresh mint. Cut into wedges and serve.
