Agathe and Opal are making a special Fat Tuesday pancake…The recipe to feed two is: two eggs, half a cup of milk, half a cup of flour – that’s it.  It is easily doubled for four people.

To make the pancake, first turn the oven on to 400 F, put a couple of Tablespoons of butter into a frying pan, and the frying pan in the oven while it comes up to temperature.
