Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoons Butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Once the mixture is smooth, set aside.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then pour them into the milk and flour mixture. Whisk until well incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the melted butter and mix until a smooth batter forms.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pancake rises, turns golden brown, and the edges pull slightly away from the sides of the dish.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the pancake cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Cut into squares and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as lingonberry jam, fresh berries, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
