Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is crucial for achieving that beautiful puff!
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth.
  3. Melt the Butter: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, place unsalted butter and put it in the hot oven for a few minutes until melted.
  4. Combine: Carefully pour the batter into the hot baking dish over the melted butter.
  5. Bake: Place the dish back into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pancake is golden and puffy.
  6. Serve Immediately: Once baked, remove it from the oven and serve right away with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For best results, let your eggs come to room temperature before mixing. Keep an eye on your pancake as different ovens vary in temperature. Experiment with different toppings such as whipped cream, honey, or seasonal berries. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
