Name: [ Insert Fruit Here ] Puff Pancake
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 1 eight inch puffy pancake
Ingredients: 1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick); 1/4 cup muscovado sugar or 1/4 cup brown sugar; 1/2 teaspoon english mixed spice or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced; 5 large eggs; 1/2 cup heavy cream or 1/2 cup milk; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 1 dash salt; maple syrup, for serving or confectioners' sugar, for serving, honey for serving

"Pears, plums, berries, under-ripe bananas, etc. can be substituted for the apples-depending on the season. Muscovado replaced plain ol' brown sugar, honey for maple syrup, heavy cream for milk, one teaspoon ground cinnamon in original recipe was replaced with Recipe #266688-in my lame attempt to "anglicize" the recipe. For our small family, this recipe was cut in half (although with the same amount of fruit) and I also baked the pancake in an eight inch cast iron skillet instead of a pie pan. Puffy pancake pulls double duty as both a breakfast entree and dessert. Local recipe."

Yields:: 1 eight inch puffy pancake

ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
¹⁄₄ cup muscovado sugar or 1/4 cup brown sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon english mixed spice or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
5 large eggs
¹⁄₂ cup heavy cream or 1/2 cup milk
¹⁄₂ cup all-purpose flour
1 dash salt
maple syrup, for serving or confectioners' sugar, for serving, honey for serving

directions

Note: the pancake will not puff up high like a Dutch baby does.
Heat oven to 425 degrees.
Place the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in an 8-inch cast iron skillet or a 9-inch glass pie plate. Heat in the oven until the butter is melted and bubbly — 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven, stir well and mix in the apple slices.
Return to the oven and bake for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the eggs, milk, flour and salt in a blender or food processor and process until frothy — 1 minute. Pour over the apple mixture.
Bake until the cake is puffed and the center is set — 18 to 20 minutes.

I just made this, using figs instead of apples. Otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I shredded the figs in the food processor, used cinnamon, brown sugar and white wheat flour. I agree with other reviewers and would double the fruit next time. I used 4 oz (13 figs)...next time would do double that. Easy and not too sweet dessert that came together in minutes. I actually pulled it out after 16 minutes...and that was plenty of time.

Made this today for brunch. It is delicious. I think it needs more apple but that is personal taste. I am definately going to make this again, especially at holiday time when I've got lots of company.

I made this with pear and it was totally delicious. I only had 4 eggs but the result was perfect. Made for ZWT 6.
