Father’s Day Morning

Anything good must start with a slab of butter, melted in a cast iron skillet. Mix flour, milk, baking powder, salt and eggs… with a dash of sugar.

While the dutch baby is cooking, make some hart-shaped bacon, blackberry syrup and whip cream. Throw together a chocolate milkshake (Gone before photo could be taken.)

Add a handwritten note, folded up like a torpedo.

Serve WARM!!
