Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium ripe banana
• 1 cup mixed berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a blender, add eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth, about 30-60 seconds. Set aside.

Step 3

Place an ovenproof 10-inch skillet or cast-iron pan in the oven to heat for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the unsalted butter, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan.

Step 5

Quickly pour the pancake batter into the hot skillet, then immediately return it to the oven.

Step 6

Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.

Step 7

While the pancake bakes, prepare the banana berry compote. Slice the banana and add it to a small saucepan along with the mixed berries, lemon juice, and maple syrup.

Step 8

Cook the compote over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 9

Remove the pancake from the oven. It will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.

Step 10

Slice the pancake into wedges and top with the warm banana berry compote.

Step 11

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
