Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquids.
Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet into the preheated oven to heat.
Once the skillet is hot (about 5 minutes), carefully remove it from the oven and add the butter. Swirl the skillet to melt and evenly coat the bottom and sides.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet over the melted butter. Quickly return the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes until the pancake is puffed and golden brown, especially around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes; it will deflate slightly, leaving beautifully crisped edges.
Dust the top of the pancake with powdered sugar and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
