Fluffy Peach Pancakes

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Ingredients:
6 medium peaches (2 lbs)
2 tbls butter
1/2 cup plus 2 tbls sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt

Instruction:
Peel & remove pit from peaches; cut each into 8 wedges. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In 12-inch skillet with oven-safe handle, heat butter, 1/2 cup sugar & 1/4 cup water to boiling over medium-high heat. Add peach wedges to mixture in skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes, until peaches are golden and sugar mixture begins to caramelize.

Whisk together milk, eggs, flour, salt and remaining 2 tbls of sugar until smooth. When peaches are golden and lightly caramelized, pour egg mixture over. Place skillet in oven; bake pancake 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve immediately.

Variations: This came out SO good! I left it in the oven just a bit too long, about 20 minutes, and the sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan REALLY caramelized into crunchiness.

Of course, you could use apples, pears, plums or what have you :-)
