Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- 1 whole Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place an oven-safe 9-inch skillet or baking dish in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are light and frothy.
Add the milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the eggs. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Carefully remove the hot skillet or baking dish from the oven. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until it is fully melted and coats the bottom and sides.
Quickly pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet or baking dish. The batter should sizzle slightly as it hits the pan.
Place the skillet or baking dish back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown on top.
Once baked, remove the pancake from the oven. It will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal.
Slice into portions and serve immediately. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with lemon wedges, syrup, or fresh fruit, if desired.
