Categories Egg

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk, heated 20-30 secs in microwave
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Optional: 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place butter in a cast iron skillet and place in oven to melt. In a large mixing bowl (or blender), combine eggs with the milk until the mixture is light yellow and not stringy, about 1 minute. Add the flour, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt, and whisk vigorously to remove lumps, about 30 seconds. Remove hot pan from oven. Butter should be melted. Swirl butter around the pan to coat completely, and then pour remaining butter into the batter and whisk to blend. Pour the batter into the hot plan and return pan to oven. Cook the pancake for about 20 mins, or until the pancake is puffed in the center, and golden brown along the edges. Using a spatula, remove the entire Bismarck from the pan and place on a cooling rack for a few minutes to allow steam to escape without condensing along the bottom (otherwise bottom becomes soggy). Slice the pancake into wedges on a serving platter or cutting board and serve with syrup, preserves or cinnamon sugar.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds of ground beef
2 tablespoons of melted butter
1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Mix together beef, butter, green onions, salt and pepper. Form into 4 cakes and broil.
Serve each hamburger cake topped with a hot soft-fried egg.
For accompaniments, have plain boiled potatoes liberally dressed with butter and chopped parsley, tomatoes broiled with a seasoning of chopped garlic and basil, and plenty of cold ale. A fitting dessert would be fresh strawberries flavored with orange juice, port wine and Grand Marnier and folded into whipped cream at the last moment. Serve black Italia coffee at the end of this hearty meal.
