Subject: Breakfast Puff?? Can't find

I recall finding a recipe that I can only recall as Huffy Puffy, which was a simple egg in a biscuit type meal. Searches bring me to an Apple type recipe but that is not what I am looking for.
Any help or nudge in the right direction would be great!

Thanks

this is the recipe I have called Huffy Puffy, but it's not an egg in a biscuit

Huffy Puffy
(serves 1 to 4 people)

Preheat oven to 475.

For each person, mix together in a bowl: 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup flour. No matter how many people, mix all together in the 1 bowl.

When oven has preheated, put 2T butter in a cast iron skillet, gratin pan or whatever. (My favorite is cast iron). Put pan in oven, just until the butter melts. Pull pan out, and pour in your batter. Bake 15 minutes until it's risen and golden. (It looks great!).

Serve however you'd like: with powdered sugar and/or cinnamon on top, maple syrup, fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries, or sauteed apple slices.

It's a winner for breakfast, lunch or supper.

Note – also good w/lemon juice and conf sugar

Just made this last night, thuogh probably not the same as what you're looking for. Either way, it's delicious!

1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoon grated orange zest
3 large eggs at room temperature 30 minutes (run then under warm water if you’re in a hurry)
2/3 cup whole milk at room temperature (or microwave on low)
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Put skillet on middle rack of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.

Stir together sugar and zest in a small bowl.

Beat eggs with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and frothy, then beat in milk, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and continue to beat until smooth, about 1 minute more (batter will be thin).

Add butter to hot skillet and melt, swirling to coat. Add batter and immediately return skillet to oven. Bake until puffed and golden-brown, 18 to 25 minutes.

Serve immediately, topped with orange sugar or another topping!
