Once baked to golden perfection, a dusting of powdered sugar adds a delicate touch, while a drizzle of maple syrup takes it to the next level. Perfect for weekend mornings or holiday gatherings, this pancake is a must-try for blueberry lovers and comfort food enthusiasts alike!
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) into the oven to heat for about 5 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the flour, granulated sugar, and salt to the wet ingredients, and whisk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Carefully remove the heated skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides completely.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and sprinkle the fresh blueberries evenly over the top.
Place the skillet back into the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool slightly. It will deflate as it cools, which is normal.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar and slice into wedges. Serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.
