I’ve been experimenting on babys lately, so here is tonight’s samhain version:

Preheat oven and pan to 220c

Ingredients:

4 eggs. 2 cups ap flour. 200ml milk. 200ml water. Salt. Pepper. Nutmeg.

Make baby batter:

Add all to blender, blend at low speed until smooth. Or just whisk it in a bowl. Let rest 30 mins

Cook the baby:

Add butter to hot pan, then all the baby batter. Immediately throw the baby in the oven.

After about 10 minutes turn the oven down to 420 so you don’t burn the baby.

The baby should be GBD about 20 minutes after that, it’s better to be a little over than under, no one wants a soggy bottomed baby!

Happy Halloween!

      It’s more like a puffy pancake, which I guess isn’t un-souffle-like.

      As far as pairing, it’s basically like bread and goes with anything. Tonight it was with sauteed mushrooms and peas. It can also be dessert with jam. Another traditional way is with lemon juice and powdered sugar.

    “I’ve been experimenting on babys lately”

    Are we still doing “phrasing”? Is that still a thing?

    My version has a lot more egg and oil.

    Preheat oven to 425F with cast iron pan

    • 4 eggs
    • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
    • 2/3 cup milk
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Whisk all together until smooth

    Add 1oz butter or bacon grease ( half and half is best) to preheated skillet and wait 1 minute.

    Add batter to hot oily skillet and put in oven. Bake 15 minutes at 425F. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

      Basically the same thing, but made in butter rather than beef drippings. Also kind of like a big popover.

        Made in butter rather than beef dripping? I live in Yorkshire, we use vegetable oil. I am guessing the beef dripping is a very old way of making it.

        Is this used as a desert or a savory?

          Beef drippings is how my grandmother made Yorkshire pudding, so that’s how I think of it. Vegetable oil seems much more convenient.

          As far as sweet and savory it can be either. This was savory for a weeknight dinner, I did peas and mushrooms in thyme sauce. Lemon and powdered sugar is a traditional dessert one, but jam, Nutella, or cut up fruit and whipped cream, all work for sweet
