Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- Fresh fruit or berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9x13-inch baking dish in the oven as it preheats to get it nice and hot.
While the oven is preheating, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them well until they are frothy and pale yellow.
Add the milk, flour, and salt to the eggs. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. You can also use a blender for an extra smooth batter.
Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Add the butter to the dish and tilt it so the butter melts evenly and coats the bottom and sides of the pan.
Pour the prepared batter into the hot, buttered pan. Be cautious, as the pan and butter will be very hot.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
Remove the Hootenanny from the oven and allow it to rest for a minute or two. It will deflate slightly as it cools.
Slice into portions and serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or toppings of your choice.
