Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pcs large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup your choice of fresh fruit (e.g., sliced apples, peaches, berries, etc.)
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend for 30-60 seconds until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together vigorously in a mixing bowl.
Carefully remove the hot skillet or baking dish from the oven. Add the unsalted butter to the pan and swirl it around to fully coat the bottom and sides. The butter should melt quickly and become bubbly.
Pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet. Evenly scatter your choice of fruit over the batter. Return the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges. Avoid opening the oven door while baking to prevent the pancake from deflating prematurely.
Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Dust the puff pancake with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve immediately. You can also accompany it with maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra fresh fruit for added flavor.
