Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet, or oven-safe baking dish, into the oven while it preheats to get it hot.

Step 2

In a blender or a mixing bowl, combine flour, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend or whisk until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.

Step 3

Carefully remove the hot skillet or baking dish from the oven (using oven mitts) and immediately add the unsalted butter, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan. The butter should melt quickly and sizzle but not burn.

Step 4

Pour the rested batter into the prepared skillet or dish and immediately return it to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake has puffed up dramatically and the edges are golden brown.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pancake to settle slightly—it will deflate as it cools, forming a soft, custard-like center.

Step 6

Sprinkle the pancake generously with powdered sugar, then cut into wedges. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, tangy twist. Optional toppings include fresh berries, whipped cream, or syrup.
