Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 4 lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth.

Step 3

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquids.

Step 4

Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet into the preheated oven to heat.

Step 5

Once the skillet is hot (about 5 minutes), carefully remove it from the oven and add the butter. Swirl the skillet to melt and evenly coat the bottom and sides.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the hot skillet over the melted butter. Quickly return the skillet to the oven.

Step 7

Bake for 20 minutes until the pancake is puffed and golden brown, especially around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes; it will deflate slightly, leaving beautifully crisped edges.

Step 9

Dust the top of the pancake with powdered sugar and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
