Hubby and I frequent Elmer's Restaurant, an old-fashioned breakfast place in Eugene, Oregon. Elmer's serves this enormous German pancake, light and fluffy, dusted with sugar and drizzled with fresh lemon juice and a pat of butter.
I have been wanting to make this at home, as a special treat.
And I succeeded thanks to fellow blogger's recipe at the following link:

She calls it a Bismark/Popover
It is absolute divine. Here is her recipe (with very minor variations) for those of you too lazy to go search.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 C flour
1/2 C milk (hers is 2%; I had whole milk)
pinch of salt
pinch of nutmeg
2 or more T of sweet butter
Fresh lemon wedges
Confectioner's sugar
Heat over to 450degree F. Whisk the eggs with the flour, milk, salt and preferably fresh nutmeg.
Melt 2 Tablespoot of butter in a 10" cast=iron skillet over medium heat.
Pour batter into skillet and place immediately in the hot oven.
Bake until the pancake is golden and fluffy, about ten-twelve minutes.
Transfer the pancake on a serving dish and sprinkle the confectioner's sugar and a squeeze of lemon.
Serves two generously.
Enjoy for breakfast, or for dessert!
I have used a Le Creuset casserole dish to make this. Works great.
ReplyDeleteI amdefitely going to try this. Ingredients very similar to my Yorkshire pudding recipe...
ReplyDeleteMy hubby would love this. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat Bismark looks real soft. Like that idea of squeezing lemon.
ReplyDeleteI know this is an old post, but I've eaten this German pancake here in Texas at the Original Pancake House. It is good!
