    How to Make David Eyre's Pancake

    1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

    2. Beat Eggs

    Gently beat two eggs in a mixing bowl just enough to blend the yolks and whites together.

    3. Prepare Batter

    Add half a cup of flour, half a cup of milk, and a pinch of ground nutmeg to the beaten eggs and mix gently. It's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

    4. Melt Butter in Skillet

    In a 12-inch skillet, melt four tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until hot but not browned.

    5. Bake Pancake

    Pour the batter into the skillet and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges puff up and turn golden brown.

    6. Finish with Sugar and Lemon

    Dust the pancake with a light shower of confectioners' sugar and return to the oven for 1-2 minutes. Drizzle with the juice of half a lemon before serving.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Preheat Thoroughly

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 425°F (220°C) before placing the pancake inside for that essential puff.

    Butter

    Be generous with butter in the skillet for flavor and crispiness, melting it over medium heat before adding the batter.

    Use the Right Pan

    A well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe nonstick pan of 10. to 12-inch is ideal for even heating and rise.

    Mixing the Batter

    Whisk eggs and milk until just combined before adding dry ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can result in a dense pancake.

    Finishing Touches

    Sprinkle with lemon juice and dust with confectioners’ sugar immediately after baking for a bright and sweet contrast.
