Heat the oven to 425°F. Place an 8″ cast iron or other oven safe skillet in the oven to heat along with it.

In a mixing bowl whip the eggs with a whisk until frothy and pale. Really go for it. Add in the buttermilk and repeat this process. Add in the flour and whisk enthusiastically once again until smooth, light, and completely combined. Make this last whisk a bit shorter as we don’t want to agitate the flour too much.

Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and melt the butter in it. Pour the batter into the pan and scatter the bits of truffle on top. Immediately place in the oven and allow to bake undisturbed for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven when puffed and golden. Revel in it’s initial glory (it will deflate as it cools), dust in powdered sugar, top with strawberries & cream, and enjoy with milk or coffee or milky coffee or tea as you please. Happy Valentine’s Day!
