Elevate your breakfast game with this stunning Puff Oven Pancake, a light and airy delight baked to golden perfection in just 20 minutes! Also known as a Dutch Baby, this impressively puffed creation is made from a simple batter of pantry staples like eggs, flour, milk, and a touch of vanilla. Whisked together and baked in a preheated skillet, it rises dramatically in the oven, creating irresistibly crispy edges and a tender, custard-like center. Finished with a dusting of powdered sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon, this easy-to-make treat is perfect for impressing guests or indulging in a cozy morning at home. Serve it hot and watch it become the star of your breakfast or brunch spread!
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch oven-safe skillet or pie dish inside to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and free of lumps. You can use a blender for an even easier process.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and immediately add the unsalted butter, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
Quickly pour the batter into the preheated skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.
Dust the pancake generously with powdered sugar and serve it immediately. Optionally, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the top for added flavor.
Slice into wedges and enjoy!
