Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For serving
- Butter
- Fresh berries
- Powdered sugar
Preparation Instructions
- Prepare to bake—Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Add butter to a large ovenproof ceramic non-stick skillet and place in oven until butter begins to sizzle.
- Meanwhile, mix the batter—In a medium bowl, beat eggs vigorously. Add milk and continue beating for about 1 minute. Add in the flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt and continue beating vigorously to remove all lumps.
- Make the pancake—Remove ceramic non-stick skillet from oven and swirl to coat evenly with butter. Pour batter in hot pan and bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes—until pancake puffs in the center and is beautifully browned around the edges. Garnish with a pat of butter, fresh berries, and a generous dusting of powdered sugar. Serve warm.
Tips
Smooth Operator
To create a silky, smooth batter in seconds, mix ingredients in a blender or food processor. Quickly clean blender by filling halfway with hot water, adding a drop of dish soap, and blending for 10 seconds. A quick rinse and you’re done!
For an even dusting of powdered sugar, use a sugar shaker, sifter, or sieve. Even a tea strainer will do in a pinch.
