This is so easy, so delicious and so pretty that I got a little carried away with my photos! Lol! I used my cast iron skillet as recommended although I'm eager to try this in my All Clad 12-inch skillet that would make the pancake a bit flatter, which my DH would prefer. For him, this was too un-cake like. It was perfect to me because it was very custard-like. This would be a great addition to a brunch buffet or to whip up quickly in the morning for overnight guests. Thanks, Mega! Made for PAC Fall 2012.
