"This is a family recipe that my mom made every New Year's and Easter when I was growing up. We always served it with a big bowl of lemon wedges and powdered sugar on the table. I make it for my family now and it is definitely one of my all-time favorite meals. Enjoy!"

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 3 eggs
• 3⁄4 cup milk
• 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour

directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees f.
2. Melt butter in baking dish (pretty much any size corningware or pyrex within reason)in the oven. Once it is melted, remove from oven.
3. Meanwhile, beat 3 eggs until light yellow.
4. Mix the flour and the milk into the eggs until combined.
5. Pour mixture into the dish of melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg.
6. Bake for 20- 25 minutes. The whole thing will puff up and brown around the edges and should fall in the center once it is removed from the oven.
7. Top VERY generously with powdered sugar (my husband prefers to use granulated sugar which gives it an odd grainy texture in my opinion if the sugar doesn't completely dissolve) and loads of fresh squeezed lemon juice. Enjoy!

I have several recipes I make but they are more involved, so I tried this. It was so good! I did blend the ingredients in the blender while the butter was melting in the oven. Next go I’ll add a splash of vanilla. I’ve never severed this with lemon before, what a great twist. Thanks.

I grew up with this recipe, and I love this is in a cast-iron skillet! Everything goes in the blender except the butter, and I add a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. Always make sure the butter you use is salted (otherwise you'll want to throw in a pinch of salt). I like it plain, but a lot of people like powdered sugar, lemon juice, jam, or syrup. I'm so glad this is still popular! Thank you!

This was good. I brought it to my father in law's birthday brunch we held for him and it went quickly. I'd cut it into strips for easy finger food. It was super simple to make, and I will use this recipe again.

This was good. It tasted like an airy french toast. My husband ate his with syrup. I think I was hoping for more of a doughy, pastry like taste with all the powdered sugar, but again it was still good.
