Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoons Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Once the mixture is smooth, set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then pour them into the milk and flour mixture. Whisk until well incorporated.
Stir in the melted butter and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pancake rises, turns golden brown, and the edges pull slightly away from the sides of the dish.
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the pancake cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cut into squares and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as lingonberry jam, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
