Puffed Oven Pancake

My son Cory was at college during most of the Days of Unleavened Bread, so he didn't get to have the unleavened pancakes that everyone seems to like so much.  I was trying to decide what to fix for dinner and was thinking waffles.  Cory said he'd like the unleavened pancakes, but I only had enough cottage cheese to make one batch, not enough for everyone.  So I thought I'd make a batch of regular, ordinary pancakes too - but I saw this recipe when I pulled the cookbook out, so I made it instead.

Puffed Oven Pancake

Ingredients:

• 2 T butter
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 t salt

Directions:

1. Place butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet.  Place in a 400° oven for 3 to 5 minutes or till butter melts.
2. In a medium mixing bowl use a wire whisk to beat eggs.  Add flour, milk, and salt.  Beat till mixture is smooth.
3. Pour into the hot skillet and bake about 25 minutes or till puffed and well browned.
4. Top with fruit, syrup, whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar...

We had it with 'fried apples' - Melt 2 T butter in skillet over medium heat; add sliced apples (4 or 5); top with brown sugar (sorry, I didn't measure, just used 3 scoops from the canister), and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
