Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk, 240 ml
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, 120 g
- 1 dash salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 5 ml
- 5 Tablespoons butter, 70 g
- Powdered sugar, for serving
- Syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the butter in an ungreased 9×13-inch metal baking dish, then set the dish in the warming oven until the butter has melted.
- Add the eggs, milk, flour, salt, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until the batter is smooth and pourable.
- Pour the blended batter into the baking dish, letting it spread over the melted butter.
- Bake for 22-27 minutes, until the sides rise high and turn golden.
- Serve warm with a generous dusting of powdered sugar and syrup.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, swap in gluten-free flour. Cup4Cup and King Arthur Measure for Measure are both good options.
- A metal pan helps the pancakes rise well, though a glass baking dish can still work.
