  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Powdered sugar, syrup, fresh fruit, or any toppings of your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9×13-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet in the oven to heat.
  • Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. Add the milk, flour, salt, and vanilla extract if using. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  • Melt the Butter:
    • Carefully remove the hot baking dish or skillet from the oven. Add the butter to the dish and let it melt, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides.
  • Pour the Batter:
    • Pour the batter into the hot, buttered dish or skillet. It’s okay if the butter bubbles up around the batter.
  • Bake:
    • Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown. The pancake will rise dramatically and form a dramatic edge.
  • Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with syrup, or top with fresh fruit.
