Swedish Oven Pancake
Print This Recipe
Resembling a large popover, this breakfast dish is impressive when served at the table from a cast iron skillet. It must come directly from the oven, as it will gradually fall.
INGREDIENTS
3 strips bacon
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon saltPreheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut the bacon up and brown it until crisp in a 12 or 13-inch diameter frying pan.* Do not pour off drippings.
Beat eggs and milk together lightly, or combine in a blender. Add flour, sugar, and salt; and blend together only until ingredients are combined. Do not overmix.
Reheat pan with bacon drippings, and then pour in batter. It should sizzle when added to the pan. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until lightly browned and puffed, about 30 minutes.
Bring to the table immediately, cut and serve with fruit or berry preserves, syrup, or fresh-squeezed lemon juice and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Makes 4 to 5 servings
*NOTE - A smaller frying pan can be used, and the bacon and drippings transferred to the equivalent of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Reheat pan and drippings before adding batter.
