Strawberry Puff Pancake Recipe

Happy May Day! With strawberries turning brilliant ruby in my garden, I decided to pull out this recipe. Now, for the record, I didn't use garden berries. Let's be honest. Joseph and Elizabeth eat those suckers before I have a chance to pick them. But right now, Farmers Markets are carrying flats of brilliant red berries as sweet as spring.

So why not make something special with them?

Strawberry Puff Pancake Recipe

You will need:
 3 eggs
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp.vanilla 
1/2 c.strawberry preserves
3-ish tbsp. Drambuie
1/2 c. fresh strawberries, sliced
Powdered sugar or whipped cream to taste

Directions:

Heat oven to 400. Spray a pie pan with cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add flour, milk, salt and vanilla. Mix well and pour into pie pan.

Bake for 20 minutes until it puffs up or is well browned.

While the pancake is baking, put the preserves and Drambuie in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer, stirring to keep it from sticking. When the pancake is done, pull it out and top with the preserve mixture.

Add sliced berries and powdered sugar or whipped cream. The pancake will “fall” but that’s okay! It will taste divine.
