DAVID EYRE'S PANCAKE

• Sprinkle pancake with sugar and return to oven for 2 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with lemon juice; serve immediately with jelly, jam, or marmalade.

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.

OVEN BAKED PANCAKE (DUTCH BABY OR DAVID EYRE'S PANCAKE)

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.
