Equipment

  • Blender
  • 10-inch cast iron skillet or 9x13 oven safe pan

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • 4 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe 9x13 pan inside to heat.
  • Blend the batter: In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth (about 20–30 seconds). Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Melt the butter: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add butter, swirling until fully melted.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the hot skillet and return to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  • Serve immediately: The pancake will deflate slightly—this is normal! Slice and serve right away.
