Eating pancakes for dinner is always a good idea, I think, and one big puffed pancake an even better one.

Using a ratio of 1:1:1 of flour to whole milk to egg, I whisked an egg (with a dash of vanilla) into a cup of milk then both into a cup of flour, adding a little salt, then poured the mixture into a buttered saucier, sprinkled with berries, and placed in the oven for about an hour at 350 degrees (begin a little warmer and then take the temperature down to 350 ten minutes in). Serve warm.

On this festival day, have your colors—purple (berries), gold (crunchy, buttered crust), and green (snip chives on top when cooling, along with a little goat cheese), to celebrate this last day before a more austere diet for the rest of the season—well, something like that…

   Mica, let me know how it goes—I never thought about it as kin to clafoutis, but of course you are right. I like the brightness in the winter—
