Ingredients
- Milk
- 1 cup
- All-purpose flour
- 1 cup
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Powdered sugar
- for dusting
- Lemon wedges

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds.
- Place the butter in a large, oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) and put it in the preheated oven. Wait until the butter has melted and is bubbling, about 5 minutes.
- Carefully pour the batter into the hot skillet with the melted butter. Make sure the butter remains around the edges of the skillet to help create that beautiful puff.
- Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown.
- Remove the pancake from the oven and dust generously with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
Tips
- For a sweeter touch, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
- Experiment with toppings by adding fresh fruit, flavored syrups, or yogurt.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
