Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., berries, sliced peaches, or bananas)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 optional lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until the batter is smooth and slightly frothy. Alternatively, whisk together by hand until well combined.
Place a 10-inch ovenproof skillet or cast-iron pan in the oven as it preheats. Heat the pan for about 5 minutes until very hot.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter, swirling it around the pan to coat the bottom and sides completely. Be sure the butter melts quickly but does not burn.
Pour the prepared batter into the hot, buttered skillet. Immediately place the skillet back into the oven.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
While the pancake is baking, prepare the fruit. Wash and slice the fruit as needed.
Remove the pancake from the oven when done (it will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal). Let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
Top with fresh fruit and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side if desired.
