Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., berries, sliced apples, or bananas)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
- syrup or jam (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or pie dish in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the hot skillet or pie dish from the oven. Add the unsalted butter to the dish, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
Pour the pancake batter into the buttery dish. Sprinkle the fresh fruit evenly over the top of the batter for a sweet surprise in every bite.
Place the dish back into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar and serve directly from the dish. Optionally, add syrup or jam for extra sweetness.
Slice into portions and enjoy your Puffy Surprise Oven Pancakes while warm!
