This has been my family's go-to weekend breakfast food for as long as I can remember. Any time I have friends staying over, this is the breakfast and it gets rave reviews. It's fluffy and crispy and perfect with maple syrup. Even though it's certainly not healthier, it somehow feels a lot lighter than pancakes or waffles. It's pretty much a sweet, breakfast Yorkshire pudding. —SybilAB
