... with two eggs, 150 grams of flower, half a tablespoon of sugar, and a cup of milk. Stir until it stiffens, then place in a baking tray and put on the top shelf of the oven pre-heated to gas mark 8 for 40 minutes.

That looks to be a recipe for Pfannkuchen (what I've seen referred to in the US as 'dutch babies', a sort of german 'pancake' (closer in composition to yorkshire pudding). Any recommendation on temperature for those of who don't have a european standard gas oven?

Erm, Well I kind of just made it all up rather than it being an actual recipe :-). I could of checked my cook book but was trying to be spontaneous :-).

Although I think gas mark 8 is around 200 degrees centigrade.

Hope this helps :-)

Well, for those interested, even if it is completely off topic --

• Pfannkuchen recipie (which is also missing the temperature)
• "Dutch Apple Pancakes"
• Seattle Dutch Babies
• Yorkshire Pudding

If you're lazy like I am, and have the necessary gadgets -- place everything in a blender, give it a whirl, then let it sit for ~ 20 minutes (usually, I do this while I'm broiling a steak). Place the beef drippings (or oil), in a pan, and give it a few minutes to heat in the oven (~400F)... pull out the pan, dump in the batter, then put it back in the oven 'till it's golden.
