4-1-1 OVEN BAKED BACON PANCAKE

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces salted pork fat or bacon (optional)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Powdered sugar
  • Lingonberry preserve or other berries
  • Whipped cream, sweetened with sugar and beaten until soft peaks form

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bacon

  • To remove excess saltiness of pork fat, cover it in water in a small saucepan and cook for 2 minutes. Drain water and repeat the process.
  • Cut pork fat into small cubes.
  • In a large skillet, cook over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Pancakes

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine eggs, milk, flour, and lemon zest. Process until blended (or whisk together in a large bowl).
  • Place a 3-quart paella pan (or other low-rimmed baking dish) in the oven with the butter until butter is melted.
  • Remove and tile the pan so butter evenly coats the bottom.
  • Pour pancake mixture into the hot pan and evenly sprinkle pork over the batter.
  • Return pan to oven and bake pancake until golden and puffy, about 20 minutes.
  • Serve at once. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with berries and whipped cream.
