This is by far Eric's favorite recipe. It is a dish his family used to eat every Christmas morning along with grapefruit. I received the recipe as a gift from my father-in-law at my wedding shower. I looked at it as a little bit of a right of passage to receive the recipe and have been happily making it for almost 10 years. Eric's aunts believe you must make it with whole milk. I can report that I've made it with 1% and 2% with no problem. I've also varied the amount of sugar I've used and it doesn't make a difference in taste. I also always use a 9x13 pan and it comes out perfect.
Things I learned from this recipe:
There is nothing like making a recipe with love.
Would I make this recipe again?:
For a lifetime.
The recipe:
As written by my father-in-law:
1 C milk
2/3 C flour
2 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
opt: 1/2 teaspoon of cardamon
Beat until smooth. Put 1/4 cup of butter in a 9x9 pan and heat until melted. Remove and pour in batter. Bake at 400 degrees for about 35 minutes.
