Why It’s a Family Heirloom

  • Buttery Perfection : Cooked in a cast-iron skillet for maximum crispiness.
  • Spiced Custard : The secret is a blend of warm spices and a hint of vanilla.

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (or maple syrup)
  • Pinch of salt

For Cooking:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
  • Optional mix-ins :
    • ½ tsp lemon zest (for brightness)
    • 1 tsp rum or brandy (optional, for depth)

Toppings:

  • Maple syrup , powdered sugar , or fresh berries
  • Cinnamon sugar (for a sweet-dusted edge)
