Custardy Oven Pancake with Mixed Berries

YIELD: Serves 8
TOTAL: 1 HOURS
COURSE: Breakfast/Brunch, Main Dishes

Ingredients
4 large eggs
About 5 1/2 tbsp. honey, divided
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
2 1/2 cups milk
2 cups raspberries, divided
1/4 cup butter, cut into chunks
1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced (or use another favorite fruit)

Preparation
1. Set an ovenproof 12-in. frying pan or 9- by 13-in. pan in oven and preheat oven to 425°. Whisk eggs, 1/4 cup honey, and the zest in a medium bowl to blend. Add salt, flour, and 1/4 cup milk and whisk until smooth, then whisk in remaining milk.

2. Purée 1 cup raspberries in a food processor until smooth. Strain; discard seeds.

3. Remove pan from oven; add butter and swirl until melted and golden. Pour in batter. Pour raspberry purée over batter in wide ribbons. Reduce heat to 400° and bake pancake until deep golden, 30 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes to firm up (pancake will fall).

4. Combine strawberries and remaining 1 cup raspberries and 1 1/2 tbsp. honey in a bowl; let stand at least 10 minutes. Add honey to taste. Spoon half of fruit over pancake and serve the rest on the side. Cut pancake into wedges.
