Serve this with strawberries, sour cream and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Oven Puff Pancake

½ cup butter

1 cup flour

2 tablespoons sugar (optional)

½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

4 eggs

1 cup milk

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put butter in 10-inch cast-iron skillet and place in oven. While butter melts, prepare the batter.

Sift flour, sugar (if using), cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Beat eggs well and add milk, then whisk in dry ingredients and mix until smooth. This all can be done in a blender if you prefer. Remove skillet from oven and immediately pour in the prepared batter into hot skillet. Return to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until pancake is puffed and center is dry.

Serve immediately.
