Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix - a few lumps are okay.
  5. Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes to get it hot.
  6. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and coat the bottom with a thin layer of butter or cooking spray.
  7. Pour the pancake batter into the hot skillet and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown on top.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  10. Slice the pancake into wedges or squares and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar.
