Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- 1 optional maple syrup or fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 9x13-inch baking dish in the oven to warm while you prepare the batter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy.
Gradually add the milk to the eggs, continuing to whisk until fully combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour into the bowl and add the sugar and salt. Whisk the mixture until smooth and free of lumps.
Carefully remove the warmed baking dish from the oven and add the unsalted butter, swirling it around until it melts and coats the bottom and sides of the dish.
Pour the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish. Return it to the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pancake is golden brown and puffed up around the edges.
Remove the baked pancake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. It will deflate as it cools, creating a custardy center.
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and paired with maple syrup or fresh berries, if desired.
