Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups milk
1 1/3 cups eggs (about 6)
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, melted

For Garnish

Powdered sugar
Lemon wedges
Fresh fruit, cut up (bananas, berries, melon)
Whipped cream

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix the milk, eggs, flour, granulated sugar, and salt with an electric mixer or in a blender, until smooth. Let the batter stand for 30 minutes before baking for best results.

    Step 2

    Position the oven racks so that they are equally spaced. Preheat the oven to convection bake at 450°F.

    Step 3

    Brush each of six foil pie tins with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Divide the batter equally among the pie tins, 1/2 cup batter per tin. Place two tins on each oven rack, staggered to allow for air circulation. Bake them for 10 minutes, until puffy and golden.

    Step 4

    Serve one pancake per person and offer a choice of toppings.
