Comments on: A whole lotta faith http://erika.haub.net/a-whole-lotta-faith/02/ Erika Carney Haub's musings on life and God from South Central, L.A. Fri, 18 May 2012 17:20:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Grandpa http://erika.haub.net/a-whole-lotta-faith/02/comment-page-1/#comment-446926 Grandpa Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:39:04 +0000 http://erika.haub.net/a-whole-lotta-faith/02/#comment-446926 Erika, when I made the two 9 x 11 pans, I whipped up 4 eggs, 2 cups flour and 2 cups milk in the bowl, melted 2 half sticks of butter in each 9 x 11 pan and split the egg mixture between them, so basically it was double the standard recipe, divided between the two pans. I used lemon juice and powdered sugar, plus added some blueberries for extra pizzazz. The classic David Eyre pancake recipe that was originally published in the NY Times does allow for the addition of fruit fillings, or marmalade or other tasty treats, but the botom line recipe is just the eggs, flour and milk, baked for about 15 minutes at 425. The thing that makes it work and gets it to puff is the butter. Margarine doesn't work nearly as well, and if you skimp on the butter, you don't get as much puffing up.

Ah yes, the breakfast for dinner nights–some of my kiddos favorite dinners! Glad it was enjoyed!

I liked the ease, and as a cook was immediately thinking of all the ingredients that would fit in it. The thing it reminded me most of as it puffed up was Yorkshire pudding. Fluf...Good... Thanks, Erika! New recipes are always welcome, and those easy to teach to kids even more so!

It's perfect in a 9-inch square pan, but just for a light snack. Amy's family has picked up on the power of the puff, and they learned the Haub way with sugar and lemon juice, but they also love whipped cream and strawberries. Yum.

Something about pre-coffee, lots of interrupted sleep brain wasn't quite able to think that through in the moment :) And the irony was that we actually had a whole other carton of eggs literally right next to the other one that I just didn't see. So I guess I could have pulled of Jesus if I had been paying attention! Yes, Jim, I had that same thought…a day later.
