Puffy Oven Pancake by Vegas Food Nerd

With times being uncertain like they are, it’s essential to show some love to those you are closest to. Why not bring back an age-old romantic gesture this spring. Treat that special lady in your life to breakfast in bed? With romance taking it back to the classics is never a bad idea. Sometimes we let the everyday stressors stop us from truly appreciating our partners. So the next time you get a chance, encourage your significant other to remain in bed, preferably nude, while you tiptoe into the kitchen to make them their first meal of the day. This oven-baked treat is easy to prepare but very impressive to serve. Slather pieces of it with butter, squeeze on some fresh lemon juice, and top with powdered sugar. It’s like a lemon meringue pie mated with a piece of French toast. You can also top it with fresh berries or maple syrup. It might just earn you enough points to score a special dessert from your mate.

2 tablespoons salted butter
2 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour

Melt butter on a pie plate in the oven while it is heating up. Once the butter has melted, use a brush to butter the entire pie plate.

Beat the eggs in a medium bowl with a wire whisk. Beat in the rest of the ingredients and take care not to over mix the batter—Bake for 20 minutes or until puffy and golden brown. Serve with butter, lemon wedges, and powdered sugar.
