Weekend Breakfast: Strawberry Oven-Puff Pancake


Speaking of strawberries, this recipe is a favorite of mine this time of year, when they are in peak season.  This makes the perfect weekend breakfast, served along with some hot, crispy bacon.  Heaven!  The "pancake" is similar in texture to a popover, but the dish itself is surprisingly filling.  I originally found the recipe on the "Rita's Recipes" blog, and I have adapted it.  Enjoy!

Strawberry Oven-Puff Pancake

Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 pint strawberries, sliced
  • powdered sugar, sifted
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 425.  Melt butter in a 9 inch pottery pie plate in the oven while it preheats, until butter is melted and bubbly.
  2. Whisk together eggs through vanilla.
  3. Remove pan from oven and add the batter.  Do not stir.
  4. Return to oven and bake about 18-20 minutes, until puffed high and golden.
  5. When pancake is done, remove from oven and fill the center with the strawberries.  Generously sift powdered sugar over top.
