These puffy pancakes have many unusual names including bismarcks and Dutch Puffs. In every case, a simple batter poured into a hot pan creates instant, unforgettable magic. This sweet version is a perfect fast dessert or breakfast; or add sautéed mushrooms and bacon for a savoury meal.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs

  • 2/3 cup milk

  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar, plus 1 tsp for garnish

  • 1/4 tsp all-purpose salt

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 4 halves of roasted plums, (see link below)

  • Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  • PREHEAT oven to 425F.

  • WHISK eggs, milk, 3 tbsp sugar and salt in a large bowl. Sift in flour while whisking until mixture is smooth.

  • HEAT a 9-in. cast iron or oven-safe frying pan over medium-high until hot, about 5 min. Add butter to pan, swirling to coat. Pour in batter and immediately transfer to oven.

  • BAKE until puffed and golden, about 10 min. Sprinkle with 1 tsp granulated sugar, then top with roasted plums and ice cream.

  • Kitchen Tip: If using an oven-safe frying pan, it will take less time to become puffed and golden, 7 to 9 min.
