  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

200 grams all-purpose flour for forming the base of your mixture

1 teaspoon baking powder for adding lift and fluffiness

150 milliliters whole milk for bringing moisture and creaminess

2 large eggs for acting as a binder

50 grams unsalted butter for cooking

100 grams fresh berries for adding a fresh, tangy topping

2 tablespoons honey for drizzling on top

Instructions

1-First Step: Mixing the Base Start by combining 200 grams of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder in a large bowl. This creates the foundation of your dish, ensuring everything blends smoothly. Stir them well to avoid any lumps.

2-Second Step: Adding Liquids Next, add 150 milliliters of whole milk and 2 large eggs to the bowl. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of clumps, which takes about 1-2 minutes of stirring. This step brings in moisture and helps bind the ingredients together for a perfect texture.

3-Third Step: Heating the Pan In a separate pan, heat 50 grams of unsalted butter over medium heat until it melts and starts to bubble. Keep the heat steady to prevent burning, which usually takes around 1 minute. This prepares a nice, even cooking surface for the next part.

4-Fourth Step: Cooking the Main Part Pour the batter into the pan to form your Steak Diane shapes, spreading it evenly. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until it turns golden brown, flipping carefully with a spatula. Watch the timer to get that ideal crispiness without overcooking.

5-Final Step: Finishing Touches Once done, remove from the pan and serve immediately with 100 grams of fresh berries and a drizzle of 2 tablespoons of honey. This adds a fresh twist and balances flavors, making the dish ready to enjoy in about 15-20 minutes total. Plate it up and savor the results of your efforts.

Notes

πŸ”₯ When flambΓ©ing the cognac, make sure to tie back long hair and keep a lid nearby in case you need to smother the flames safely.
πŸ₯„ For the best sauce, use high-quality cognac and real butter – the quality of these ingredients significantly impacts the final flavor.
⏰ Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a more tender and flavorful result.
