Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
  • 1 cup fresh fruit or jam (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and put the dish in the oven to melt the butter while the oven preheats. Keep an eye on it to ensure the butter doesn't burn.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the flour, adding it in small increments to avoid lumps. Once the flour is fully incorporated, slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk. The batter will be thin, which is normal.

Step 5

Carefully remove the baking dish with the melted butter from the oven. Swirl the butter around to coat the bottom and sides of the dish, then pour in the pancake batter.

Step 6

Optional: Sprinkle the top of the batter with cinnamon for added flavor.

Step 7

Bake the pancake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and puffed, and the center is set.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow the pancake to cool for a few minutes. It will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.

Step 9

Dust the pancake with powdered sugar before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve with fresh fruit, jam, or syrup, if desired.
