Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium firm-ripe peaches (or other fruit like apples, pears, or berries)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10- or 12-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the eggs, whole milk, flour, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until the batter is smooth and has no lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Carefully remove the hot skillet or baking dish from the oven and add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Swirl the butter around to coat the bottom and sides of the dish completely.
Step 4
Quickly pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet and return it to the oven. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Step 5
While the pancake bakes, prepare the caramelized fruit. Peel and slice the peaches (or chosen fruit) into even wedges.
Step 6
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice, stirring to combine.
Step 7
Add the fruit slices to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and coated in the caramel sauce, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 8
When the pancake is done, remove it from the oven. It will deflate slightly as it cools—this is normal.
Step 9
Spoon the caramelized fruit over the pancake and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
