Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
• 1 optional maple syrup or fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 9x13-inch baking dish in the oven to warm while you prepare the batter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gradually add the milk to the eggs, continuing to whisk until fully combined.

Step 4

Sift the all-purpose flour into the bowl and add the sugar and salt. Whisk the mixture until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 5

Carefully remove the warmed baking dish from the oven and add the unsalted butter, swirling it around until it melts and coats the bottom and sides of the dish.

Step 6

Pour the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish. Return it to the oven.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pancake is golden brown and puffed up around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the baked pancake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. It will deflate as it cools, creating a custardy center.

Step 9

Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and paired with maple syrup or fresh berries, if desired.
