Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
- 1 cups fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a blender, add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed for 10-15 seconds until combined.
Add the flour, granulated sugar, and salt to the blender. Blend again until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain, about 20 seconds. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the butter to the skillet and swirl it around until it melts and coats the entire bottom and sides of the pan.
Immediately pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet, ensuring even distribution.
Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden-brown around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the puff pancake cool for 2-3 minutes. It will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar and top with fresh fruit, if desired. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
