Reader Debi Jarrell sent today's food funny:
Two cannibals were sitting down eating, when one said to the
other..."You know, I don't like my mother-in-law." The other one
replied, "Then just eat the vegetables."
Please don't be alarmed when this recipe turns into a big puffy thing
in your oven - it's supposed to do that. It's sort of a Yorkshire
pudding type batter, and it will puff up and rise above the sides of
the pan it is cooking in. Instead of our serving suggestion you may
want to serve it with syrup, fresh fruit, fruit preserves, or any
sweet topping you like.
"Dutch Baby" Pancake
6 Tbs (90 ml) butter
4 eggs
1 cup (250 ml) milk
1 cup (250 ml) flour
Fresh whole nutmeg
Powdered sugar for dusting
1 lemon
Put the butter in a heavy 10 inch (25 cm) iron skillet (a wok works
great, too) in a preheated 450F (230C) oven. Mix the batter quickly
while the butter melts. Put the eggs in a blender and mix at high
speed for 1 minute. With motor running gradually pour in the milk,
then the flour. Mix for 30 seconds. Pour all of the batter into the
hot skillet (make sure the skillet is hot) and bake 20 to 25 minutes.
Dust with powdered sugar and a grating of fresh nutmeg. Serve with
lemon wedges. Serves 4.
