Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 3 units large eggs
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 4 units lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
- 0.25 cups maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10- or 12-inch oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high speed for 20–30 seconds until the batter is smooth and slightly frothy. Alternatively, you can whisk the ingredients together in a mixing bowl until fully combined.
Step 3
Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the hot skillet and immediately add the butter. Swirl the butter around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan completely. Be cautious as the skillet will be extremely hot.
Step 4
Quickly pour the prepared batter into the hot buttered skillet. Do not stir! The heat of the pan will help the batter puff up dramatically during baking.
Step 5
Place the skillet back into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the Dutch pancake is golden brown and puffed up along the edges. Do not open the oven door during the cooking process, as this may cause the pancake to deflate prematurely.
Step 6
Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool slightly for 1–2 minutes. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools, which is completely normal.
Step 7
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for a touch of sweetness and serve immediately. Offer lemon wedges for a zesty tang and maple syrup for those who prefer a sweet option.
Step 8
Slice into wedges and enjoy your Roller Coaster Breakfast Dutch Pancake while it's still warm and fresh!
