Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., berries, sliced apples, or bananas)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 0 syrup or jam (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or pie dish in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Carefully remove the hot skillet or pie dish from the oven. Add the unsalted butter to the dish, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides evenly.

Step 4

Pour the pancake batter into the buttery dish. Sprinkle the fresh fruit evenly over the top of the batter for a sweet surprise in every bite.

Step 5

Place the dish back into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.

Step 7

Dust the pancake with powdered sugar and serve directly from the dish. Optionally, add syrup or jam for extra sweetness.

Step 8

Slice into portions and enjoy your Puffy Surprise Oven Pancakes while warm!
