Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional)
• 1 cup fresh berries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9x13-inch baking dish or a large cast-iron skillet in the oven to warm while preparing the batter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy and well combined.

Step 3

Add the milk, all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency will be similar to a thin crepe batter.

Step 4

Carefully remove the hot dish or skillet from the oven, and immediately add the unsalted butter. Swirl the pan to melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom and sides evenly.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the hot, buttered dish or skillet. Return it to the oven.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Immediately remove the pancake from the oven and serve. It will deflate slightly as it cools.

Step 8

Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and serve with lemon wedges, fresh berries, or your favorite syrup if desired.
