Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk, at room temperature (or nondairy)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 Tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons (43g) unsalted butter
- 2 Tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, for sifting
- Berries
- Whipped cream
- Maple syrup
- Strawberry sauce
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a blender and blend on medium-high speed until frothy and fluffy, about 45 seconds. Add the flour, milk, lemon zest, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract and blend until well combined. Set aside to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 24 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Place the butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet and put it in the oven for 5 minutes until the butter melts. Remove the pan and spread the melted butter evenly up the sides.
- Pour the batter directly into the hot, buttered pan without swirling. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (204°C). Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove the pancake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and add desired toppings. Slice and serve immediately.
- Leftovers can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Warm gently before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
