Ingredients

• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0 as desired Optional toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, powdered sugar, syrup)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch or 10-inch oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan in the oven as it heats to warm it up.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are frothy and pale yellow, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the milk, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the eggs. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 4

Carefully remove the preheated skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add the unsalted butter to the hot skillet and swirl it around until the butter is melted and coats the bottom and sides of the pan.

Step 5

Quickly pour the pancake batter into the skillet. Return it to the oven immediately.

Step 6

Bake the oven pancake for 18-20 minutes, or until it is puffed up and golden brown on the edges. Avoid opening the oven door while it bakes to ensure the pancake rises properly.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the pancake from the oven. It will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal.

Step 8

Slice the oven pancake into wedges and serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or maple syrup.
