This fluffy oven pancake is a delightful twist on the classic Dutch Baby, perfect for a cozy brunch or dessert.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Place the butter in a 9-inch pie plate and let it melt in the oven.
Keep an eye on the butter to prevent it from browning too much.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Whisk the batter well to avoid lumps.
Pour the batter into the pie plate over the melted butter.
Pour the batter gently to keep the butter evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain the puffiness.
Remove from the oven, slice into desired portions, and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
