Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 cups fresh berries (optional)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or oven-safe skillet) in the oven as it heats.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth and frothy. Set aside.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts and immediately add the unsalted butter. Swirl the skillet to coat the bottom and sides with the melted butter.
Pour the pancake batter into the hot skillet, ensuring an even layer.
Place the skillet back into the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until the pancake is puffed up, golden brown, and crisp around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes—it will deflate slightly as it cools.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for a sweet finish. Serve immediately with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
