Ingredients

#

• 3 Eggs
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• pinch nutmeg

In the pan:

• 4 tbsp. Butter unsalted, preferably but salted probably works?

Directions

#

1. Preheat oven to 425 farenheit.
2. Combine eggs, flour, milk, sugar, and nutmeg in a blender. I've seen that these are recommended to be room-temperature, but I haven't had issue
3. Add butter to well-seasoned, 10-inch, cast-iron skillet. Place in 425 degree oven. Leave until butter is melted but not browned. Do not preheat the oven with the butter in the skillet. Do not heat the skillet on the stovetop. Place the cold skillet and cold butter in the oven. Yes, I've tried these shortcuts. No they don't work.
4. Pull skillet with melted butter out of oven, and immediately pour blender mixture into skillet. Try to pour evenly. Batter should sink under melted butter at edges of skillet. Pouring too quickly can cause minor sticking in middle of skillet.
5. Bake in oven at 425 farenheit for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 farenheit at 20 minutes, and continue cooking without opening oven for another 5 minutes. Opening the oven will release too much heat.
6. Remove from oven, serve hot. Don’t worry about ‘resting’ or any bullshit like that. Cut that bitch up and serve it immediately.

When I first started looking, I noticed a distinct trend in information on PTP. Personally, I think that the general consensus on PTP is wrong. Namely, PTP isn’t that complicated to get setup, it doesn’t require a hardware clock, nor does it require any specific hardware support. If you want to get to sub-microsecond precision, some of those things may become important, but a basic setup doesn’t require that. Of course, if you want to get down to the advertised nanosecond-level (or in the case of White Rabbit extensions, 100s of picoseconds) precision, then you probably do need some of that, but not all of it.

I never gave much thought to making a blog, but more recently, I’ve been coming across things for which there is little or no good documentation. So, I thought why not?

Background

#

Of course, then I started to think more about it and realized that it would be a good way for me to keep track of projects. Nothing I do has been quick, and there’s always more I could do, so I thought that writing down whatever I was working on and documenting my thoughts might help me put down and later pick a project back up. Lately, I’ve been working on a Rust-based implementation of PTP, but it’s taken me longer than I expected… or rather the scope has creeped. Because of course it has

Why?

#

I’ve been working on some things for a while, and realized that I can, or perhaps should, document it. Not only for myself, but that others might find it helpful too.

Some things

Ok, I realize that ‘some things’ might be vague, but it is what it is.
