Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Milk
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (for serving)
- to taste Jam or fresh berries (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Place an oven-safe 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish or pan in the oven to preheat as well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until frothy and well combined.
Gradually whisk in the milk, followed by the vanilla extract (if using).
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and add the unsalted butter, swirling it to coat the bottom and sides of the dish. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Pour the pancake batter into the hot, buttered dish, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Place the dish back into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and puffed up, particularly at the edges.
Remove the pancake from the oven and let it cool slightly. It will deflate as it cools, which is normal.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar and serve warm with jam, fresh berries, or your preferred toppings.
