These popover-like baked pancakes were a specialty of the old-time
Manca Restaurant. A good way of serving them is to sandwich them with
jam, and if you must, butter.
In a bowl, beat the eggs. Beat in the flour, 2 tb at a time, beating
just until smooth. Beat in the milk, butter, salt, and lemon rind, if
used. Generously batter two 9" pie pans. Divide batter between them.
Bake in a preheated hot oven (400°F) for 10 minutes. Lower heat to
350°F and bake another 5 mintues. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar
and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes:
I find the secret the these is unbridled use of Pam, or some other
cooking spray on the pie plates instead of butter. If they don't have
a slick surface, they will get stuck and just sit in the pan.
