Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
• 0 maple syrup or fresh fruit (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Put the dish in the oven to melt the butter while the oven preheats. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t burn.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are light and frothy.

Step 4

Add the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the eggs. Mix until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour to the wet mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth.

Step 6

Once the butter in the baking dish is fully melted, carefully remove the dish from the oven. Swirl the dish gently to coat the bottom evenly with the melted butter.

Step 7

Pour the pancake batter into the hot baking dish over the melted butter.

Step 8

Bake the pancake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and puffed up and the center is set.

Step 9

Remove the pancake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. As it cools, it will deflate slightly, which is normal.

Step 10

Slice into rectangular portions and serve warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or top with fresh fruit.
