Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/3 cup flour (lightly spooned into the measuring cup)
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp beef drippings (rendered duck fat or oil)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp fresh herbs -OR- 1/8 tsp dried herbs (optional)

Instruction

  • Beat egg(s) with a wire whisk until light and fluffy
  • Whisk in milk
  • Whisk in flour and salt until no lumps remain.
  • Let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes (don't refrigerate)
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
  • Place appropriate amount of whatever fat you're using in an appropriate-sized skillet or pan (see NOTES)
  • Place pan with fat in preheated oven. Let the pan/fat heat for about 5-7 minutes or until the fat is very hot and almost at the smoke point (you'll have to keep an eye on this, but I find it's ready in 5 minutes with drippings or duck fat)
  • Pour the batter into the hot pan and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the sides have puffed and are a nice golden brown.
  • The center will fall almost immediately after being removed from the oven--this is normal!
  • Serve immediately.
