Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 9x13-inch baking dish in the oven to heat as the oven preheats.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are light and frothy.
Add the milk, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl with the eggs.
Mix the ingredients together until smooth and well blended. It's okay if there are a few small lumps.
Carefully remove the preheated baking dish from the oven using oven mitts.
Add the unsalted butter to the hot dish and swirl it around until fully melted, coating the bottom and sides of the dish.
Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish and place it back into the preheated oven.
Bake the batter for 20-25 minutes or until the pancake is golden brown, puffed, and crisp around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and use a sieve to dust the top with powdered sugar.
Slice the pancake into serving-sized pieces and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
