    German Pancakes with Warm Berry Compote

    There’s something wonderfully simple about a plate of homemade German pancakes. They’re thin, tender, and lightly crisp around the edges, less fluffy than an American pancake and perfect for stacking, folding, or topping with whatever you have on hand. For this version, we’re keeping things classic: a simple, lightly sweetened pancake cooked in butter on the Lancaster No. 8 Griddle, then topped with a warm berry compote made with fresh lemon and a touch of vanilla.

    Classic Cherry Skillet Pie with Red Wine

    Classic Cherry Skillet Pie with Red Wine

    This is a classic cherry pie at heart: a buttery, flaky crust, plenty of juicy cherries, and a sweet-tart filling that bubbles into the crust as it bakes. The little twist is a splash of red wine in the filling, it doesn't overpower the cherries, but adds a subtle richness and brings out their deeper, almost jammy flavor. Baked in cast iron, the crust turns beautifully golden and crisp while the filling bubbles around the edges.
