Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for topping)
• 1 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, or sliced bananas)
• 2 Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10- or 12-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron works best) in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and salt. Blend on high speed for about 20-30 seconds until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps. Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together vigorously by hand.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the prepared batter into the skillet with the melted butter. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up, golden brown around the edges, and cooked through in the center.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Dust the pancake generously with powdered sugar, then top with fresh fruit of your choice. Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges for an extra tangy twist.
