Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 4 fresh lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 9x13-inch baking dish in the oven to heat as the oven preheats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are light and frothy.
Step 3
Add the milk, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl with the eggs.
Step 4
Mix the ingredients together until smooth and well blended. It's okay if there are a few small lumps.
Step 5
Carefully remove the preheated baking dish from the oven using oven mitts.
Step 6
Add the unsalted butter to the hot dish and swirl it around until fully melted, coating the bottom and sides of the dish.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish and place it back into the preheated oven.
Step 8
Bake the batter for 20-25 minutes or until the pancake is golden brown, puffed, and crisp around the edges.
Step 9
Remove the dish from the oven and use a sieve to dust the top with powdered sugar.
Step 10
Slice the pancake into serving-sized pieces and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
