Now a pancake you bake that makes enough for two, so easy and delicious. Enjoy this oven baked pancake with berries for breakfast or brunch.
I love this recipe for this Oven Baked Pancake with Berries. I love everything about it; the ease, the crisp edge, the flavor, the texture, and the amount (just right for two of us).
A few weeks ago, I found the perfect cast iron frying pan. I had been wanting a cast iron pan for a long time, one that I could use for baking in my oven. I had been looking online, in specialty stores, etc. but they were all too big and TOO expensive. I wanted something small and a decent price at least. I had been visiting Ross lately for a cute dish every once in a while and I stumbled upon my little cast iron frying pan, it was a great price, size, and bright yellow – so cute. Then I looked for the perfect recipe to bake with it and discovered this Blueberry Baked Pancake recipe in my Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Martha’s recipe called for using an 10 inch pan and mine was only 8 inches, so I cut the recipe to 3/4s and that worked perfectly.
I followed the directions for seasoning my pan that came with it, cast iron are a special breed and you need to season them first. Often that requires coating them with oil and then baking, but I would follow the instructions that come with your pan. Cast iron pots and pans also are not meant to be washed (never soak your cast iron in water), sometimes you are just going to wipe your pan clean, but you can wash them in hot water just make sure to dry it completely with paper towels (recommended) immediately after washing or rinsing (rarely with soap). You can find some basic instructions here at Real Simple for the care of your cast iron pan.
Now that you know a little more about their use and care, let’s get to this delightful recipe of an oven baked pancake with berries (in my case Kirtland Triple Berries but you can use fresh blueberries or raspberries too)

Looks delicious. But you know, you could have gotten a Lodge cast iron pan. It’s not as “chi-chi” as a Le Creuset or some of those other enameled pans, but it’s excellent quality, inexpensive (even when not on sale), available in virtually any size imaginable, and you don’t have to live in perpetual fear that you will someday damage the enamel coating. I have both Le Creuset and Lodge in my kitchen and I only use Le Creuset to impress company who don’t know any better.
