- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) so your pancake can reach that incredible puffiness.

- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth without any lumps.
- Pour the batter into the skillet over the melted butter.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
