This recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic pancake, baked to perfection in the oven for a fluffy and golden treat.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect rise.
Place the butter in a 9x13 baking dish and let it melt in the oven while it preheats.
Keep an eye on the butter to prevent it from browning too much.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla extract, and sugar. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Blending incorporates air, which helps the pancake puff up.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter into the melted butter.
Pour the batter evenly to ensure a uniform bake.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain the temperature.
Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Popular toppings include powdered sugar, syrup, or fresh fruit.
