Transport your taste buds to the Netherlands with this irresistible **Pannekoekken Dutch Pancake for the Oven**, a show-stopping breakfast that’s easy to make yet impressively elegant. This oven-baked treat combines a custard-like center with golden, crisp edges, perfect for soaking up sweet toppings like powdered sugar, syrup, or fresh fruit. Crafted from pantry staples like **all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, and butter**, its minimal prep time and effortless oven baking make it perfect for both busy mornings and leisurely brunches. By preheating a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan, you achieve that signature puffed texture that deflates into a tender, crepe-like pancake as it cools. Whether served plain or dressed up, this Dutch pancake is sure to delight everyone at the table.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a cast-iron skillet or ovenproof 10-inch round pan inside the oven to heat up while you prepare the batter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. You can also use a blender for this step to ensure a silky consistency.
Once the oven and pan are fully preheated, carefully remove the hot pan from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the pan and swirl it around until it completely melts, coating the bottom and sides of the pan.
Quickly pour the prepared batter into the hot pan. The butter may sizzle slightly as the batter spreads evenly.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pannekoekken is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
Once baked, remove the pannekoekken from the oven. It will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of syrup. Enjoy!
