Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon (optional for topping) powdered sugar
- (optional toppings as desired) fresh berries or syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish in the oven to heat up.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy.
Gradually add the flour, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Carefully remove the hot skillet or baking dish from the oven using oven mitts. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
Pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet, ensuring it is evenly spread.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the oven pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Carefully remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2–3 minutes (it will deflate slightly as it cools).
Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Dust with powdered sugar and add fresh berries or syrup for topping, if desired.
