Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for topping)
- Fresh fruit or syrup (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) inside the oven to heat up as it preheats.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy, about 1 minute.
Add the milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until fully melted, coating the bottom and sides of the pan.
Pour the prepared batter into the hot, buttered skillet and immediately return the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool slightly (it will deflate as it cools).
Dust the top of the pancake with powdered sugar and serve immediately with fresh fruit, syrup, or your favorite toppings.
