- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- Lemon wedges
- Powdered sugar
- Melted butter
- Using a French whip or fork, beat eggs until blended.
- Sift flour; measure and sift again with salt.
- Add flour and salt in 4 additions, beating after each addition, just until mixture is smooth. Add milk in 2 additions, beating slightly after each. Lightly beat in melted butter.
- Generously butter bottom and sides of unheatted 9 or 10 inch heavy frying pan. Pour batter into frying pan and bake in a 450° oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° and bake 10 minutes more.
- Slip onto heated plate; serve immediately. Offer lemon wedges, powdered sugar and melted butter.
Makes 2 to 3 servings.
The recipe doubles and triples easily. We use lemon juice instead of wedges.
(I never bother to sift the flour and I use pie plates instead of frying pans.)
