This large, fluffy pancake is excellent for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dessert any time of year. And it comes together in about five blessed minutes. Then 25 minutes in the oven! Read a quick artilce on the name after the recipe.
Sometimes known as a “Dutch Baby” it is essentially a Wilshire pudding with an extra egg! Try your hand at this super easy treat!
Ingredients (requires room temperature ingredients)
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of baking soda
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Blueberry compote topping or syrup
Directions
The most important secret to the recipe is to have room temperature ingredients. So I suggest cracking three eggs into a covered bowl with the ¼ cup of milk first. Cover and set on counter for an HOUR!
Then if you wish the blueberry compote topping*, go ahead and cook that up first. Then:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar, nutmeg and baking soda, blend lightly with a fork. DO NOT whip it until smooth, you want big lumps.
Let that sit for 15 minutes. (during this time the mostiure will be aborbed by the flour – this makes it fluffy but not chewy)
Place a 10-inch cast iron pan into the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then add the 2 Tbs butter and let melt in oven, as soon as it is runny, carefully with an oven mit swirl the pan around to coat the bottom. Then pour the batter into the center and replace in the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the pancake is puffed and golden. Turn the oven off and cover the pan and let sit in the oven for five minutes longer.
Remove pancake from oven, cut into forths and serve at once topped as you prefer!
Have a surplus of bananas?, slice 4 into the hot butter (used an extra T of butter), sprinkled on about 2T sugar, (leave sugar out of the batter). Puffs up gorgeous, done in 18 minutes.
Cake comes out of the pan more easily if it's rested for a couple of minutes after it comes out of the oven: it shrinks away from the pan and doesn't collapse.
This is really an English Yorkshire pudding made with an extra egg.
Heat the skillet, THEN add the butter, let it melt, then add the batter.
The cake will puff up in the center and the edges will be dark and crispy.

The Little Black Book of Indiscreet Recipes by Dan White
The term “POOF” comes from England in the 1850s. By 1910 the Australian extended form became “poofter”.
Poofter is now one of the most hateful words in Australian English. The phrase poofter-bashing arose during the 1960s and 1970s during organized hate crimes against homosexuals across Australia.
Beyond its use as an anti-homosexual slur, it is also often aimed at males who do not fit ideals of masculinity.
So it is used here as a way of taking away the sting of hate and claiming it as our own. Much as we have re-claimed the word queer.
It is said to be derived from the sounds the passive makes when expelling air after sex. The Advocate states: “Don’t say we don’t do our homework here”. But, I've yet to see any evidence to “Back this up”!
More likely it derives from the make-up “poof”, for talc powder. In Shakespearean times women were forbidden to appear on stage. The roles went to younger men dressed as women. White powder was used to simulate the pale female skin. Well you can guess how these actors were treated! Thus the name “Poof”!
