Ingredients3 large eggs
½ tsp fine salt
3 tbsp caster sugar
240ml milk, warmed
1 tsp vanilla essence
30g unsalted butter, melted
150g unbleached plain flour
2 tsp vegetable fat
Icing sugar
Marinated berries or glazed apples and pears compote, recipes follow
For the marinated berries:
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 vanilla pod, split lengthwise, and seeds scraped out with a knife and reserved
Grated zest of ½ lemon
Grated zest of ½ orange
240ml water
2 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
225g raspberries
225g blueberries, rinsed
225g strawberries, rinsed, tops trimmed, halved or quartered, if large
For the glazed apples and pears compote:
3 small Granny Smith apples or other tart baking apples (about 625g)
3 Bosc pears (about 625g)
Juice of 1 lemon
30g unsalted butter
3 tbsp sugar
Grated zest of 2 oranges, plus their juice
Two 6-cm-long cinnamon sticks
2 tbsp Calvados, Apple Jack or brandy (optional)
Method1) For the pancake: Preheat the oven to 220C/Gas Mark 7.
2) In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, sugar, milk, vanilla, and butter. Whisk in the flour to make a smooth batter. Set aside.
3) Heat a well-seasoned 25-cm cast-iron skillet in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and brush the inside with the fat. Pour in the batter and bake for 15 minutes.
4) Lower the oven to 180C/Gas 4 and continue baking until puffed and golden brown, about 13 to 15 minutes more. Run a knife around the edge of the skillet. Sift the icing sugar over the pancake. Serve immediately in the skillet with maple syrup, marinated berries, or glazed apples and pears, recipes follow.
5) For the marinated berries: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, citrus zests, and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer very gently until syrupy, about 25 minutes.
6) Remove from the heat and add the citrus juices. Combine the berries in a bowl. Strain the warm syrup over the berries and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Serve.
7) For the glazed apples and pears compote: Peel, core, and cut both the apples and pears into 2-cm wedges. In a medium bowl, toss the fruit with the lemon juice.
8) Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon sticks and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the fruit, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until glazed, about 10 minutes.
9) Raise the heat to high, add the orange juice, and cook until the fruit is easily pierced with a paring knife, about 1 minute more. If desired, add the Calvados. If cooking on a gas burner, carefully tip the pan toward the flame to flambe the alcohol; if cooking over an electric element, hold a long match near the mixture. Swirl the pan over the heat until the flame subsides. Serve warm
