Strawberry Dutch Pancake

I had never made one of these before, and I saw a recipe in the free press that I only loosely followed. I think their oven temps were way off - it said to start at 450 for fifteen minutes and then drop the temperature to 350, but my oven holds the heat like crazy. I would have been better off just cooking it at 350.

They had you make the batter, put 2 tbsp of butter in a pie pan to melt in the oven, swirl the butter around and then pour the batter in.

It rose gloriously in the oven during the first fifteen minutes, and I watched with anticipation. I dropped the temp and kept watching. After ten minutes, the edges were about to burn, so I took it out. Then fell like a brick.

The middle looked like it could have cooked longer.

Still, it tasted ok.  I topped it with diced strawberries, powdered sugar and a drizzle of agave syrup.

Here is the batter recipe.

1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
