Puff the Magic Pancake

Fresh berries. Crepe like texture. Orange sweet glaze. Mmmmm...

This morning I tackled making a puff pancake for the first time ever. Knowing that they deflate so quickly, I had my camera ready. Unfortunately, by the time I put the berries on top, it deflated 40%. You can still get the idea though. TRY THIS RECIPE! Don't be discouraged when it deflates- it still tastes phenomenal!

Ok here is the recipe for a super easy puff pancake. And I mean EASY.

Ingredients:
Berry-Topped Puff Pancake Re

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk (1 or 2 %)
  
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  Topping:
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons orange juice or orange pineapple juice
  
• 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• Confectioners' sugar

How-To:

• First, wash and get your berries set out in bowls. Do this first so when the pancake comes out, you can top it quickly.

• Place butter in a 9-in. pie plate. Place in a 425° oven for 4-5 minutes or until melted. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk. In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Whisk into egg mixture until blended. Pour into prepared pie plate. Bake for 14 minutes or until sides are crisp and golden brown. It may still look a little "raw" in the middle but as long as the edges are brown, that is OK.
  

• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in orange juice. I used orange-pineapple juice. It was delicious. You could also choose to use a little orange liquor if you have some in your house. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer or until thickened. (This step may take the whole time the pancake is baking). Remove from the heat.

• Spoon berries over pancake and drizzle with sauce. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
